I bought a laptop with no PCMCIA slot, just expresscard. Instead of using a usb dongle for wireless, I would like to use an expresscard if possible. Ubiquiti makes one that uses atheros chip. Has anyone successfully used an expresscard wifi card in FreeBSD? Any info? Thanks

For newer Atheros cards you're likely to need the hal at http://www.freebsd.org/~sam. I've not tried the Ubiquiti expresscard so don't know what part is in it. Sam
Hi, I just purchased the Ubiquiti SRX and can confirm that it works under FreeBSD 7. It doesn't seem to handle ejections or hotplugging though.
