Michael/Miles... When I was looking for a wireless PCMCIA card I went with
this brand, works great with FreeBSD. They do have a PCI card version, I
would check out the 2nd link, check the capability and see if it would work
for you. I love my Orinoco card for my laptop. I bought the card at CDW!

card)

card version)
Good Luck!

I am thinking about Cisco for the Wirless Vendor. I saw that FreeBSD
supports a Cisco card in "B". The newer cards do A/B/G...
Proabably Cisco....
