Hi,

I'm trying to use a Wifi USB key on FreeBSD:

- OS:

aurora# uname -a
FreeBSD aurora.crysto.net 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #3: Sun Nov 27
17:27:50 CET 2005
root at aurora.crysto.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TEUSHIBA  i386

- wifi USB key:

SMC EzConnect_g (SMC2862W-G EU)

When connected, freebsd message is:

 ugen0: SMC 802.11g Wireless USB Adapter, rev 2.00/10.00, addr 2

- Downloaded driver from: 

http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=downloads.searchCriteria&localeCode=FR_FRA&productCategory=0&modelNumber=1345&downloadType=1&knowsPartNumber=false

select: 

  - "PRODUIT SANS FIL" (wireless product)
  - Reference: SMC2862W-G EU
  - Part Number: 99-01284-376

Final driver link: 
http://www.smc.com/files/AV%5C2862wV.2_V.3DR_UT_WW.zip
MD5 (AV\2862wV.2_V.3DR_UT_WW.zip) = f132d37c61eabd0c9ff114b7e4442d00
