Seriously. http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/dev/linux-wlan/2000-q4/0042.html Weird, it appears that the thing makes the pcmcia card appear as a PCI device: none0@pci0:12:0: class=0x028000 card=0x11001638 chip=0x11001638 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 Anyhow, I hate hardware, but it's tempting to check this out, the unfun part is that this is in my router/gateway box so rebooting it often tends to annoy Heather. :) -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] Daemon News Magazine in your snail-mail! http://magazine.daemonnews.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
