No, it doesn't work that way. You as a *BSD/Linux user were never meant to purchase a $40 wireless NIC with a TI chipset that says "software requirements: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP" on the box or a $1399 OEM notebook with a builtin TI chipset that comes with Windows XP Home Edition. If you do, it's your problem, and if you don't, your purchase won't be missed by anyone. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBhSK9Xhc68WspdLARAsnWAJ4/eO8aNDBHbcOi2knxo/VMAvOAqQCgphZJ rxSPy/exIOUTJm84/WjlMPs= =M5Tg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
