Now all Local Radio Loop based telco in Europe are using ATM based alcatel hardware, and needs for bandwidth management etc.. is growing , ATM is still and more than ever a good solution to all these problems IMHO On Tue, 15 May 2001 17:18:45 -0700 "Jin Guojun[ITG]" <j_guojun@lbl.gov> wrote: > Richard Hodges wrote: > > > > On Tue, 15 May 2001, Christophe Prevotaux wrote: > > > > > Are these supported by the en driver in FreeBSD ? > > > > No, the en driver is for Efficient and Adaptec (maybe SMC). > > > > > If not , then is anyone writing a driver for these ? > > > > I don't know of anyone doing so, but Fore has the docs available > > and there is apparently a Linux driver for them.
