Beta should be available next week. Early results show almost astounding performance. We are learning, for sure. From a Linux FTP server we have measured 192K bytes download through a single Teletronics Access Point. From an NT 4 FTP Server the rate is 155K bytes. The Linux driver gave us 160K bytes with the same configuration from the Linux or NT servers. Windows 98 driver gives 150K bytes from same spot, either server. We pretty much gave up on the Linux driver for dual cpu but the FreeBSD driver already is stable. One neat thing is that we have had only ONE system killing crash. That occurred when we tried 2 PCMCIA adapters and plugged in a card to each. The first card was just fine, but boom when the second was inserted. Needs work. Any BSD heads who know how to run 2 PCMCIA adapters? Anyway, the driver will be released late next week, for 3.4 kernel. Hope it helps a few people. Lonnie Nunweiler Webworld Warehouse Ltd.
