WI-FI stuff ?
Hi Is there some Wi-Fi related stuff somewhere on FreeBSD area ? I need to test some HP/compaq notebooks with integrated WI-FI interfaces with FreeBSD and Linux.

The handbook's always a good place to start: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html and then there's: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/04/05/Big_Scary_Daemons.html http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/04/19/Big_Scary_Daemons.html http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticleartid=115 or if you have, or know someone who has, SysAdmin archive cd's: http://www.samag.com/documents/s=7121/sam0205a/sam0205a.htm last, but not least, search google.

It assumes that the laptop is a client to an access point that uses WEP. Replace the ssidname and wepkey in the start section. Change 'wi0' to the interface device, if needed.
