Hello guys,
wi-fi in FreeBSD is not so hard.
To wireless network, a wireless networking card is needed and the kernel needs to be configured with the appropriate wireless networking support.
What is the installed wireless adapter ?
Generally I use ifconfig and dmesg.
In this case ifconfig returns me these info:
and dmesg these info:
QUESTION 1.
Is re0 the real wifi card inserted in the PCI slot ? Or, in other words: does FreeBSD see my wifi card inserted in the PCI slot ?
QUESTION 2.
/boot/loader.conf is empty.
What I need to write inside it ? Or, in other words: how can I determine the correct driver for the wi-fi card ?
