Asus EEPC 701 wireless card

I have an Asus EEPC with Atheros l2 fast ethernet freebsd FreeBSD wireless card and I don't know how to use it to connect to my router.

ae(4) driver supports Attansic/Atheros L2 PCIe FastEthernet controllers. Please, read wiki AsusEee 701 support.

But there is no tutorial about how to install.

ae(4) is for wired Ethernet, and will not help with your wireless card. You need to identify the wireless card, which may not be Atheros. Most notebook wireless cards are connected by internal PCIe, so look for it in the output of pciconf(8):
% pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network

Some cards are connected by USB, even internally, and those would show in usbconfig(8):
% usbconfig

The Handbook has more information on setting up a wireless card than you might want: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html.

I felt that had too much detail that most people did not need, and wrote this: Quick Wireless Setup On FreeBSD.
