well.. that's why I'm asking. My laptop is HP Compaq 6715s. For example, I can see lots of iwn(4) pci-e cards on sale, but all I've seen say in big letters "not for HP ... laptops". So I was hoping to hear from somebody who is using wireless on an amd64 laptop, perhaps even on 6715s, which, it seems, is quite popular, of a model that is proven to work ok, either pci-e or pcmcia. many thanks anton > > #dmesg > - will show you what device the card is (i.e. ath0 for the Atheros > chipset) > > #ifconfig ath0 list scan > - should list a couple of access points > > If that works and if your laptop shows no errors while it boots you will > be fine with the certain card. > > Cheers > herbs > > On Thu, Jul 08, 2010 at 10:18:14AM +0100, Anton Shterenlikht wrote: > > I'd like to set up wireless on amd64 laptop. > > Can somebody recommend a mini pci (pci-e) or > > pcimcia device, that is proven to work? > > > > many thanks > > anton > > > > > > -- > > Anton Shterenlikht > > Room 2.6, Queen's Building > > Mech Eng Dept > > Bristol University > > University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK > > Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 > > Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 > > _______________________________________________ > > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > > > > -- > ******* Herbert Langhans, Warschau > ******* Sprachtraining Langhans > ******* http://www.langhans.com.pl > ******* herbert at langhans.com.pl > ******* NIP 526-229-61-51 > ******* Regon 014911759 > ******* Tel. 603 341 441 -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
