Templin" Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Kelvin, Are you talking about the Xircom Ethernet cards, or wireless (radio frequency) networking cards? I'm certain the Ethernet cards are supported, but perhaps others can give more specific details. As to the wireless networing cards, Xircom has split this business off to a new company called NetWave who still makes these cards. As of this writing, there is no FreeBSD driver which supports the Xircom/NetWave wireless cards, but I'm currently 50% finished coding one up and plan to submit the finished product to the FreeBSD community when it's ready. Stay tuned... Fred templin@erg.sri.com P.S. Look on the PAO homepage at: http://www.makefile.org/FreeBSD/PAO/ for an extensive list of supported devices. With few exceptions, the devices supported under PAO are also supported under the vanilla FreeBSD distribution.
