They are LanReady EW-7106PC (www.lanready.com) 802.11b

I have not tried these on FreeBSD.  Actually, I haven't tried them
at all.  We got two of them for free when we bought PCI cards in
bulk (that's why we thought it was such a deal ...) and we have
not use for them internally.  Acutally, we don't even have an
office laptop to try them out on yet.

I'll bring them to the installfest.  If anyone can bring a laptop,
I'll be happy to try them out.
