I just installed PC-BSD 7.5 on my Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop. I'm an total newb when it comes to BSD, although I have linux experience.

My problem is that BSD doesn't see my Netgear WG511 pcmcia wireless card.
I looked around and I'm still not sure if the problem is that it is not supported or just that I need to work a little to get it operating.

As of right now it does not even see the card at all. With linux I had to use the prism54 driver to get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated, I have no idea what to do here.

Thanks

That link does not work for me. Is there another place for me to get it (and possibly instructions on how to configure it).

Thanks for the help
