I have a Linksys WUSB54GSC wireless adapter on my computer. I am considering dual-booting FreeBSD with Ubuntu. I need to know, how could I get the wireless adapter to work with FreeBSD? Is there an ndiswrapper or something similar for FreeBSD? If there is, how do I get it?

There is a ndiswrapper-like for FBSD, but it does not support USB devices yet. Do you know what kind of chipset there is in your adapter ?

I am not entirely sure what the chipset is, but I think it may be a Broadcom... I'm guessing that since it is a USB device, I won't be able to get it to work. I'll just stick to running FreeBSD in VirtualBox. The adapter itself is an absolute NIGHTMARE to get working, even on Windows, let alone Linux!
