After five or more years away from FreeBSD, I am preparing to install 8.2 on a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. I will have to use a wireless adapter (I have two, both Belkin, F5D7050 and F5D8053). It occurred to me that my past successful installation depended on my nic being picked up during the installation and providing immediate internet connectivity. Using a wireless USB adapter may make things more difficult as the DNS will not be picked up "automatically". Assuming I can get the adapter to work with FreeBSD, what steps should I take to ensure a successful network connection?
