    Hi,

    I've got a dell 5160 notebook with builtin wireless ethernet.
    Windows XP home detects it as Dell Wireless WLAN 1350 Mini-PCI Card

    Freebsd5.2.1-RELEASE detects it as

    cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
    pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
    cbb0: [MPSAFE]
    fwohci0: vendor=104c, dev=8029
    fwohci0: <1394 Open Host Controller Interface> mem
    0xfaff4000-0xfaff7fff,0xfaffb800-0xfaffbfff irq 16 at device 4.1 on pci2
    fwohci0: OHCI version 1.10 (ROM=0)
    fwohci0: No. of Isochronous channel is 4.
    fwohci0: EUI64 37:4f:c0:00:3a:98:e4:c1
    fwohci0: Phy 1394a available S400, 2 ports.
    fwohci0: Link S400, max_rec 2048 bytes.
    firewire0: <IEEE1394(FireWire) bus> on fwohci0
    fwe0: <Ethernet over FireWire> on firewire0
    if_fwe0: Fake Ethernet address: 36:4f:c0:98:e4:c1
    sbp0: <SBP-2/SCSI over FireWire> on firewire0
    fwohci0: Initiate bus reset
    fwohci0: BUS reset
    fwohci0: node_id=0xc000ffc0, gen=1, CYCLEMASTER mode
    firewire0: 1 nodes, maxhop <= 0, cable IRM = 0 (me)
    firewire0: bus manager 0 (me)

    unfortunately, I have 0 experience with firewire.
    I edited my /etc/rc.conf file accordingly
    ifconfig_fwe0="DHCP"

    /stand/sysinstall doesn't pick it up.

    P.S
        Fedora 3 doesn't seem to know what to do with it either

    Thanks in advance.
