Windows claims it's a Xircom. Is this doable? does it need a Guinnea pig? Why isn't my spellcheck working? *sigh* Anyway, I've tossed together a page for this model at http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/r/e/reh18/A21p/A21p.html and will include whatever information I can come up with. I'll even toss whatever in the kernel file. Hmm, maybe a meta-package with dependendencies owuld be a good idea . . . Anyway, if someone can step me through the paces, I'll figure out whether this thing can work or not and post the information. p.s. This model is *cool* It's 40 seconds from power on to xdm login screen, and what a screen . . . hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
