Thanks anyway. (FYI, the other machine I *could* try it on is a laptop; I actually did intend to use FreeBSD as the primary OS on it at one point, but had zero luck with either of the wifi cards (one internal, one cardbus - the cardbus one is there because the internal one also refuses to work in Linux) in it. A laptop with no network access isn't much good to me! :-( ) Jeff Rollin -- Proud Linux user since 1998
