Hey,

Thanks for the reply!

Should I go for the SiteCom one?

I only included it on the list because there are really few available PCI
wireless cards around here; I didn't see it listed on man wi. Belkin is
there (different model) and SMC is there (also a different model).

Can you grant me SiteCom's one will correctly be detected and be able to
work as a hostap on FreeBSD 5.3 ?

Best regards,

Hugo
