I agree. Problem for me is that I do front end design work full time. Once in a while I have to take my work home with me. Although I would rather run FreeBSD than Linux any day at home, I am stuck with Linux because there is no way for me to run a virtual platform for some applications that I need at work.
Besides that I could not get a FreeBSD 7 disk to even boot on my computer without it giving a kernel panic. It has yet to be installed on this system.
When I did have it running for a short time back in the FreeBSD 5 release I was amazed. Best thing I ever experienced. If a virtualbox port ever gets written for BSD I am there for life. If I had any interest in all in the coding process I would jump on it fast because there is talk about it, but it seems like no on one knows what to do because of the BSD kernel its self.
Bummer.

Scott, I completely agree with you. Greg should get support of FreeBSD-RULES-community.

Best regards,

Greg,
Thanks for the comment. I’ve never used FreeBSD on a machine that used wireless. I’ve used it mostly for servers. What I would say though is ask the community. There are tons of people to help and the FreeBSD community as a whole is willing to help. If you request support for your wireless there is a good chance it will be supported.

Why I dont use FreeBSD.
I recently got a laptop. At first i wanted to install a BSD flavour on it. My first choice was OpenBSD. I started reading stuff, everything seemed fine. Then i browsed the ports available for it. Numerous applications i use daily werent there.
My choice was obviously FreeBSD. FreeBSD has a much wider collection of ports. But from what i read it still doesnt support my wireless Intel 4965A in versions other then -CURRENT. So i installed linux.
