I had similar trouble with getting wireless to work. In FreeBSD, you have to do a magic NDIS thing to get the Windows drivers to work in FreeBSD. In Linux, I kept failing at my attempts to recompile the kernel to support this, until, per a suggestion from my boss, I dug a bit and found that FC4 was actually already set up to do wireless, only it was broken because its didn't have the driver installed, just the framework, and the reason the driver wasn't installed is because you had to click a form agreeing to Intel's legal requirements to download the driver files to put in the right place and bewm, it works. Er, but what I meant to say was, I did some checking . . . YM "Lo and behold" . . . HTH :) -danny Heh. I had similar trouble with getting wireless to work.
