I will try to take a look at the Xircom driver and try to newbus it after I finish some work on the Arionet driver (It's annoying have to deal with non robust dongles and then I don't have to carry a modem & 2 ethernet adapters). However, Linksys has an interesting card .. unfortunately you can't stick 2 of them in at the same time. Doug A.
