Sorry for the delay in getting back.

I was only able to get a 4GB stick of RAM. Not what we were after, but I tried 
it anyway and the system still froze during boot.

I also tried a 32 bit 9.0 Beta 2 boot disk without any luck.

I can keep this card in the new PC to work with you on testing/debugging in 
the PCI slot, but I need to get the wireless network back up.

Leaving the current card in the PCI slot leaves me a spare PCI express slot.

Are there any PCI express cards you are aware of (or chipsets I should look 
for in a PCI express wireless card) that work OK with FreeBSD and could host 
VAPs?

Kind regards,

Geoff
