I'm not running -current ( 4-stable ), but I've had great success with the NetGear FX-410 PC Card Nic. Be sure to look at the 410 and not the 510. Their 510 is a CardBus unit. Uses the ed driver, does 10/100, although I can realy say how close to 100 it would do. It even has usefull leds. I believe these can be found around $60 at most places, like Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JBBI/qid=955402737/sr=1-10/102-9700460-7496048 You can get more info from NetGear's web site : http://netgear.baynetworks.com Although it appears to be down right now. -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
