Re: Best Cheap Wireless card for FreeBSD
Me any mine have been having good luck with Atheros chipsets of late. OfficeDepot (USA) has their own brand (of which I don't recall as my laptop is at home, but starts with an A), PCMICA card was $35. Have had dhcp problems with the 'wi0' chipset when signal is poor (drops on/off frequently). Earlier posts led to a suspicion that replacing dhclient with ?dhcp3? from ports might solve the problem but was never tested. The wi0 chipsets have definitely been around the longest, and used to give the most detailed signal strength info with netstumbler on win2k. I also saw some techie site had Atheros cards with big amplifiers on them - up to 400mW, but obviously, those were more in the $75 range than $35.

Not sure what your idea of cheap is, but I have been very happy with my Atheros based Proxim Orinoco gold b/g pcmcia card. It cost me around $70.00 (USD) from Amazon, and that was with expedited shipping, if I remember correctly. -- Chris Maness (909) 223-9179 http://www.chrismaness.com Gable ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I bought a PCI card with a ralink chipset for about $20 from newegg. It was recognized automatically during freebsd 6.1 install. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Foxconn WLL-3350. So far it's been working very well although I haven't had time to fully test it. It comes with an external antenna, unlike the picture on newegg. hi, can u tell me the brand name of the card is?? thanks!!

FWIW, If it helps at all, I'm using for more than a year now a D-link DWL-AG650 PC-CARD on laptops which I have been working on. It has an Atheros chipset, and the ath(4) driver works like a charm, on 6.X and 7.0-CURRENT.

I found a linksys instant wireless WPC11 version 3 on ebay. won the auction for $21.00. It uses the prism and/or orinoco driver works flawlessly for me. NOTE: DO NOT get the WPC11 version 4, not the same chipset, does not work.
