I downloaded PC-BSD a while ago and used it in a Virtual machine and I was very impressed. So when I was given an old laptop the other day I thought about putting it on.

I installed the version I had 7.x which all went well and everything worked out of the box so to speak including wireless.

I only then realised that 8.1 was available so I downloaded that and ran through the upgrade, again all was well until I tried to configure the wireless connection. On applying the changes on the adapter in the GUI the machine rebooted.

I thought it may be a driver conflict due to upgrading so I reinstalled 8.1 fresh, but the problem is still there.

Any ideas?

8.1 is a release candidate, meaning open beta. If it isn't working for you please post with detailed information so that we may figure out what went wrong. Your report is terse and vague to say the least.
