wireless with pcbsd

[drquad]

Hi All,

I've just installed pcbsd 9.0 isotope edition and trying to connect to the internet with my wifi through usb. I read a few threads concerning this, but it seems that pcbsd doesn't do what people say on here, like when i run a command like "ifconfig", nothing happens. Also I don't have a wifi icon in the system tray.

this is my first time with pcbsd, so I know I'm doing something wrong, or I haven't done the setting right.

Can you tell me how to get the wifi icon in the system tray, and why the command won't work?

This may become a long process.....

Cheers.

If you open a console session as root and run "ifconfig" can you paste
the output?

Hey, I've the same problem on my PC-BSD Ç (isotop too), so if I do the 'ifconfig' command, there is this in the shell :

re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=389b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING ,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>

My PC-BSD does not know my wifi card (intern on my laptop)

EDIT : And how can we analyze our PC drivers on UNIX (PC BSD 9) ?

Thanks for consideration!
