 I have not been able locate a driver for that chipset. Does anyone else

 I have FreeBSD-8, amd64 installed.


Try the rum driver, snipped from the man page:

The rum driver supports USB 2.0 and PCI Express Mini Card wireless
adapters based on the Ralink RT2501USB and RT2601USB chipsets.

The RT2601USB chipset consists of two integrated chips, an RT2671 MAC/BBP
and an RT2527 or RT5225 radio transceiver.

My apologies to the list, in my haste, I pasted the wrong line, I meant to
include this one:

The RT2501USB chipset is the second generation of 802.11a/b/g adapters
from Ralink.  It consists of two integrated chips, an RT2571W MAC/BBP and
an RT2528 or RT5226 radio transceiver.

You did notice that those are not the chip-sets in the device I am
inquiring about. Anyway, I did try the rum driver without success. I
will have to investigate it further. Unfortunately, I cannot just use a
Windows driver since I have an AMD64 system and NDIS does not support
that from what I have been told.

Do you have to use FreeBSD/amd64 instead of FreeBSD/i386? I'm only
asking in case you recently installed, I know it's not an ideal
solution.

Well, no one is holding a gun to my head if that is what you mean.
However, to take advantage of all the memory I have in this system, as
well as the improved overall system performance, yes I do have to use
the 64bit version.

IMHO, 32bit systems are all ready becoming passe. I predict
that they will go the way of the dinosaur in 5 years or less.

I did have i386 installed on this system briefly because there were no
64bit nVidia drivers available. After switching to 64bit I have noticed
a real improvement in overall system performance.

Aloha,

Q:
Are the drivers available for 64bit nvidia cards (imbeded in mobo)? I 
have not found a good how to on line for istalling on FreeBSD 8.*
I have an install that works fine on 64 bit amd until the video section 
for desktop use.
Even the DVD Manolis produced doesnt make the video work. It just 
flashaes on for a few seconds then dies off.


Any pointers to a how-to much appreciated.

If you build this port with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=yes, make sure you have

on it, or have your kernel compiled with device agp.  Otherwise the
nvidia kernel module will not load.  Also, care to specify correct

Maybe not updated then to enum this particular chip then.

The ral and ural driver is supposed to handle the Ralink chips though,
and the post said usb; ergo, ural. Its a point in the right
direction... :)

Outside of this I don't know. Perhaps someone's working on it?
