Hello,
The wireless nic on my laptop is the Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN. Is this card supported in FreeBSD as present?

I checked the FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE Hardware Notes (at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/hardware.html#WLAN), and I don't
see the Intel WiFi Link 5100AGN actually listed.

Looking at the online manpage for iwn, it is actually titled "Intel
Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN IEEE 802.11n driver", but then again, I also
noted that that manpage is timestamped April 13, 2008 and is tagged for
FreeBSD-7.2.

I'd some help, please.

Thanks.

Regards,

S Roberts

You have to use 8-stable, then you get support for this kind of adapter.

Hello Oliver,
Thanks for the response.

Understood - install 8-REL, the cvsup to 8-Stable.

Thanks again.
