I installed FreeBSD on my laptop and been trying to get the wireless network running.
I checked the FreeBSD manual and it said that I should check to see if it is detected by typing "ifconfig -a" I did that and did no see it there. If gave instructions on non detected PCMCIA cards but I am using a Internal TrueMobile1150 Mini-PCI Wireless Card. Con someone tell me how I can get it detected?

It is a driver issue. Check the Trumobile website for a driver.

I dont see any driver that could help me...

I know that when I ran linux it detected it as Orinoco and I ran properly, meaning that I was able to connect to the network wirelessly.

It detected it beforein FreeBSD...Someone had provided me with some information. He had told me to edit some file, some host file. After I had did that "wi0" was showing. But I dont remember where or what...

Some one had told me to edit /etc/rc.conf and /etc/hosts. To set up the host name after I did that I was able to see "wi0" but when I check those files they are as exactly as how I left them...
