Dear Sir, I am writing to say that Mr Whites link (vi) to the Japanese FreeBSD's PAO project is very useful, and comment on a D-Link 650 ethernet card. I am using a D-Link 650 in a Toshiba CT720 with the PAO patches for 2.2.5-RELEASE, and am pleased with the result. The D-Link card is configured and probed after the kernel unsuccessfully probes for an ed device - you need device ed in kernel and the standard PAO database (? I'm unsure of the name) supplies the PC Card parameters. The only problem with the D-Link is that the card is delivered with a UTP and BNC adapter and this bulky fitting connects to the card by a tiny "Honda" connector (like a micro SCSI fitting). I would prefer a fitting that takes up the whole edge of the card like the new IBMs - if they work. I use it for file transfer (300-500 kB/sec) and tcpdump. Thank you, Yours sincerely S Hopcroft ______________________________ Reply Separator ____________________________ _____ Subject: Re: pccard - handbook - faq ?
