Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Ernie Elu had to walk into mine and say: > I am looking for help with getting a Lucent Wavelan Turbo ISA (Bronze) > card running.

I am not familiar with an "Advantech 6154 Slot PC." Please don't assume that everyone automatically knows your hardware by name. Describe it.

No. I never obtained any real documentation from Lucent (they won't release the Hermes programming manual without NDA) and I don't have a turbo WaveLAN card so I'm unable to duplicate your problem on my own equipment. If I can't duplicate the problem and analyze it, I can't even begin to fix it. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
