Re: NetBSD 5.0.1 cannot see wireless card

["Nino on NetBSD 4.0" <nbsdold%gmx.net@localhost>]

Dear Davide,

I think I have had the same problem a while ago. 

I think ENABLING some PCI-stuff in the kernel configuration file actually 
helped me, after all.

Some details you can maybe see in this thread:

Kind regards,

Nino
