I have two Linksys NC100's. <http://www.linksys.com/products/nc100.htm>; These may be the LNE100TX re-packaged, and then they may not; I don't have any for comparison. I was completely unsuccessful in getting two of these cards to work on the PCI bus of this crappy Dell P60 motherboard I'm running. I finally gave up, and installed one ISA card and one PCI card just to get on with life. Error messages varied, including those of the continuous "unable to send", "unable to complete", "no response from", variety. Also hard hangs, and on the occasional boot, mx1 would not even be seen! DOS diags failed when both cards were in the box, and passed when one card was installed. Just thought I'd toss that out there, in case the driver developer doesn't know about the cards yet. I'm sure CompUSA sold a ton of 'em at $20/ea. /// Rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
