abstract:

I am a newbie in FreeBSD and I don't know how to hook it up there -- the driver CD has drivers for Windows systems, and I don't know if there are drivers for such hardware compatible with FreeBSD. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


I have a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 Wireless PCI Card for broadband Internet access. I installed FreeBSD 5.1 and then KDE -- everything seems to be working fine for me except for the fact that I can't get online. I am a newbie in FreeBSD and I don't know how to hook it up there -- the driver CD has drivers for Windows systems, and I don't know if there are drivers for such hardware compatible with FreeBSD. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For FreeBSD (just like linux), you usually don't need drivers. They come with the OS and most manufacturers don't care about supplying drivers for anything else but windows anyways.

(it's much simpler than it seems...)
