WebPlayer networking

[Neal Nelson]

Hi there.

I've fitted a hard disc to a Virgin WebPlayer and got FreeBSD installed 
but I can't seem to get any networking going. I tried a USB ethernet 
adaptor, which works fine on my other FreeBSD systems but even though 
it's detected it doesn't pass any traffic on the WebPlayer.

I tried to get a mini-PCI wireless card but I haven't been successful 
in getting one yet. I even bought a Linksys WMP11, which is supposed to 
have a PRISM II based mini-PCI card on it (it even says so in some 
documentation that came in the box) but mine didn't have a mini-PCI 
card at all and the chipset was completely different and not compatible 
with FreeBSD. Not happy.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get some networking going on this 
machine as all the interfaces I have are the USB and the mini-PCI slot?
