Hey,
I just read your question about wireless gear, and I believe I need the
same thing as you. I need a 802.11(prefarably g but b is ok) PCI NIC for
my FreeBSD server to bridge to an ethernet network and a cable modem.
What did you end up getting (just interested in what you got for the
FreeBSD server)? Were you sucessful? (This is directed at
anyone in a similar situation)
