Couple of quick questions

[jroa]

I am new to BSD. I have been using Linux for years and finally decided to try PC-BSD because I could not get any Linux distro to work with the video hardware on an old HP computer. PC-BSD seems to work fine with the video hardware. I do have a couple of questions that I hope can be answered without me doing a bunch of research.

First question

After the install, my MBR was not changed and my computer boots directly to Windows. I used a program called GAG to boot to my PC-BSD partition. I did not install GAG because I wanted to see if there is a native boot loader, like GRUB or LILO. Should I install GAG or are there better options?

Second question

When I boot to PC-BSD, my wireless dongle is not recognized. I am used to wireless problems from using Linux. However, I do not have any idea where to start looking for a wireless driver. The dongle is a Netgear WNA1100. Where can I find information about getting this to work? I tried some command line stuff to try to get information about the wireless adapter, but commands that I use in Linux do not seem to work in BSD, such as lsusb and lshw.

I do have one more problem regarding my screen resolution, but I will make another thread once I get the internet and boot problems resolved.

For the dual booting question, look here: ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/handbook/9.0...368_1715906691

You might be able to get the wireless adapter working with NDISulator. For that, check here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...G-NETWORK-NDIS

I have an ASUS USB-N13 that works fine with PC-BSD. They're about $23 from NewEgg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833320040
