I installed FreeBSD 8.0 Release and upgraded into 8.1 Stable on my Toshiba L510 SYSTEM UNIT NOOS laptop (actually I don't know what is the serial/type number of this laptop). Previously, it was Windows vista installed and the ethernet and wireless cards were detected as Realteks'. Shortly, after FreeBSD installation, it's just ethernet card identified by the OS as "re0". I tried to check online regarding this type of ethernet card Realtek whether it works in two ways: LAN and wireless. Please observe from the followings. Afterward, what should I do to detect the wireless card whereabouts.
Thank you in advance
