Fine, it will probably help the overall code if I do this concurrently with if_ray. As if_ray uses almost everything it can that's not straight PC-Card, it's probably a good test. > I'm > getting close to needing a whole lot of drivers converted, so now > might be a good time to familiarize yourself with the code. In best reading between the lines mode I've got the following cards I can test for you: Card Interesting Webgear Wireless LAN Messy stuff with memory maps Xircom REM56G-100 Mutlifunction modem/ethernet and CIS stuff Libretto 50CT Floppy ? Adaptec 1460 ? Option 56k Modem ? NE2000 Ethernet Card ? CIS has "Telecom Device SuperSocket RE450T" I might be able to get my hands on some WaveLAN cards from an Airport, and 3COM Megehertz modems/ethernet cards (borrowed from work). Network drivers are all that I'm familiar with though. > Warner Duncan --- ________________________________________________________________________ Duncan Barclay | God smiles upon the little children, dmlb@ragnet.demon.co.uk | the alcoholics, and the permanently stoned. ________________________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
