On a related note, since there is only a package for 2.2, has anyone tried getting it to work on 3.0? I had to use the PAO-ready floppy to install 2.2.7 over my 3.0-R installation, after being unable to get any kind of activity with 3.0's stock PCMCIA. Works without a glitch with 2.2.7 and PAO. So has anyone tried to make the 2.2.7 PAO work under 3.0? > Nate ^^^^ -Nate :-) -- ________________ ___________________________________________ / Nathan Dorfman \ / "`IE4 brings the web to UNIX'? *laughing* / nathan@rtfm.net \/ Isn't that similar to Ronald McDonald bringing / finger for PGP key \ religion to the pope?" -Jamie Bowden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
