Sure you do. Call 3Com, cry in their lap, and they'll send you a new
dongle.
If you can point me to a list of supported PCMCIA ethernet cards, I'll
see if any of the Dayna cards use the supported chipsets.
BTW, I don't know if anyone here noticed, but yesterday Dayna and Intel
announced their agreement for Intel to acquire Dayna. I'm being
assimilated. The good news is, I get Pro 100B cards for employee
purchase price in the near future. The bad news is, I'm not sure what
will happen with some of the Dayna products, that will be sorted out
early next year.
In the meantime, I'll still do what I can for any Dayna products that
FreeBSD'ers use.
