In an attempt to find some wireless network card that would work with the AP at my work (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131153 and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131162 ) I tried an old D-Link DCF-650W. It shows up as: wi0: <D-Link DCF-650W> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 19 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 wi0: [ITHREAD] wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163 rev.A wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (0.3.0), Station (0.8.3) wi0: Ethernet address: 00:05:5d:f9:aa:51 Unfortunately, the driver starts throwing errors when trying to bring up the device: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0002; event status 0x8000 wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: init failed wi0: failed to allocate 2372 bytes on NIC wi0: tx buffer allocation failed (error 12) wi0: interface not running wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000 When trying to get ifconfig to list all networks in the area, I get "ifconfig: unable to get scan results".
