Well it was based on the NetBSD driver, but I junked it as it didn't work with DHCP. http://www.ragnet.demon.co.uk/raylink.tar.gz The main problem is this code is a little old wrt. to -current and maybe even 4.1. Search the archive for an announcement and readme back in May.

They're compellingly cheap though. Ahem, works fine with W98 and W95. Not tested with Linux or NetBSD ;-) Duncan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
