FreeBSD 8.0 with rum0 and wpa_supplicant on Lenovo S10-2

It looks like the driver for rum has changed slightly in FreeBSD 8.0 from FreeBSD 7.2 because I was not able to use the same command-line syntax as I did previously. Basically the only thing different I did was the ifconfig wlan create...

I had this card running on old Dell Optiplex acting as a bridge for my kids network (and they were watching a lot of streaming media) and I was surprisingly impressed with it. Decent performance.

And while I'm at it, I hadn't seen any who actually installed 8.0 on a Lenovo Netbook but so far so good. I've got X working (I'll blog on that later) and re seems to work well enough. Obviously the Broadcom 4312's aren't going to work, but if you have USB wifi card or a tether you will be ok.

Next step see if I can get my Novatel u727 card working. I suspect it should work just fine, because it worked well on OpenBSD, but you never know...
