I have a Fritz!Card PCI V2 installed in a Net4501 (http://www.soekris.com/) which also has limited +5V current available; I haven't measured the current drawn, but it's probably less than the 100mA you say is available in your system. This machine is running -stable. I can't now remember whether Gary Jennejohn provided a patch set (check the mailing list archives from around November 2001 when he announced the driver) or if I simply used the version from -current. Running I4B from -current on -stable is normally fairly straightforward anyhow. As to the reliability of the driver, there was one major problem, for which there is now a patch (which doesn't appear to have been committed, probably because Gary is waiting for me to test it as I promised to do weeks ago...). With that patch, it is mostly reliable, and probably would be 100% reliable on faster hardware: I believe that the remaining problem is a generic I4B bug, tickled by high interrupt latency causing occasional packet loss. I need to do more work on this, but the failure occurs about once a month in normal use, or almost immediately with high levels of debugging turned on.
