However, another webpage that does, is this page: ftp://freebsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw/Upload/LucentWinModem-0.4-freebsd42r.tar.gz That URL is mentioned in this archived Usenet thread webpage: http://groups.google.com/groups?lr=&safe=off&ic=1&th=211f291bd40ab152&seekd=905875929 The old site: http://www.geocities.com/wtnbkysh/ >These are both very new and YMMV.

I got paging in kernel mode errors ("kernel trap 12" with & without interrupts disabled). Will the port of the IBM mWave modem also have a similar problem?. (Some people might be thinking of buying an IBM mWave modem.) Another thing about the wtnbkysh Lucent driver, and mentioned at google.groups.com, is buffer overflow error messages appearing on consoles. What problems would the mWave IBM modems and drivers present?. >R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer >Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) >Ernest O.

That is exaggerated unless the CPU is slower than 100Mhz by some amount. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
