I started looking at the netbsd driver... it'll take some work getting it into the FreeBSD framework.. but so far, it doesn't look that hard.. there so far has been a few minor nits with the code... but I am almost half way through reading over the code... there are a few things that I'm going to change from the driver before thinking about committing.. just minor design issues... the thing is that it only supports inet for transport... it shouldn't be that hard to try and support other modes like IPX and Appletalk... -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
