In particular, I have a Toshiba, laptop, that I've installed Darwin on and would like to get a wireless networking card installed and working. I imagine I'm dreaming to think it's as simple as re-compiling the driver for the FreeBSD Xircom PCMCIA card on Darwin and installing that. Can someone either confirm that I'm dreaming or give me some idea of how difficult a task this might be. I don't subscribe to this list, so direct replies in email would be helpful. Tony Giaccone
