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.
