That's ok, since there's no 802.11a support in FreeBSD at the moment. There might be a binary only driver in the future, but don't even think about asking me about it because I'm not working on it and can't say more in public or private. : Alternatively, what's the status of Cardbus support for -stable? None. There was some patches done for it a while ago, but that dried up :-(. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
