<para>In order to set up a wireless access point with FreeBSD, you need to have
|
||||
a compatible wireless card. Currently, only cards with the Prism chipset are
|

supported. You'll also need a wired network card that is supported by FreeBSD
|
||||
(this shouldn't be difficult to find, FreeBSD supports a lot of different
|
||||
devices). For this guide, we'll assume you want to &man.bridge.4; all traffic between

<para>There are a few different ways to configure a wireless client. These are based

on the different wireless modes, generally BSS (infrastructure mode, which requires an

access point), and IBSS (ad-hoc, or peer-to-peer mode). In our example, we'll use the
