FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT

@ccc: Not sure if you want to hear this, but before you are going to use FreeBSD-CURRENT, please read this to see if it applies to you. I stay with the latest RELEASE, cause currently it fits to my experience. I also want to have it, because I need some features/bugfixes, but in the same moment, I see new problems arising. If you want to try it though -> have fun! :)
cheers,
honk
 
thx

I'm interested for 8.0-CURRENT, because 7.1 doesn't support:

wired : Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E

and

wireless: RALINK, rt2860 module

from my notebook Asus EEE PC 1000h.


8.0-CURRENT support only wired, so I can use freeBSD.

I had problems with 8.0 installation, it seems to be really BUGGY!

btw. at the company server, I'm staying with 7.0 and I don't want upgrade.
 
But stable is as stable as other operating systems releases :D I'm using stable for my desktop, release for the server.
 
word STABLE from FreeBSD releases is ambigues... better we change it to something else :D

for example
7.1-POSTRELEASE :D :D :D

thx, wired interface works under freeBSD 8.0, but howto load wireless: RALINK, rt2860 module?

It ain't rocket science:
man -k ralink

if none of those work (read: dmesg does not show a new device), your card isn't support yet.
pciconf -lv will show information for PCI cards, like the RT 2561 that's being our hostap:
Code: 
ral0@pci0:1:9:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x00551737 chip=0x03011814 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Ralink Technology, Corp'
    device     = 'RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI'
    class      = network
