Hello,

I recently had some woes with my Toshiba Tecra 802.11b/g PCMCIA Card on FreeBSD
and with sound too, but got it to work with ndis driver, using Windows
Drivers really cool
if you ask me, you should try to get it working that way.

If you need futher help on getting this to work, let me know, took me
a while to figure
it out too, and get the right .INF and .SYS Files from Windows. I have
the LinkSYS Wireless-G WPC54G ver.4 Adapter.

Good Luck
