There's a potential customer in Sydney that's considering trying to fund me to produce a decent driver for these cards. At this point in time, there are several BSD/OS drivers, a Linux driver, and (I believe) support in the PAO code for the PCCARD Wavelan cards. The customer was planning on supplying me with a couple of loaner cards; if you were interested in helping fund the exercise I can put the two of you in contact. (Note that I'm trying to work things out so that I can afford to spend time working on device drivers; the big struggle is finding people who understand that I have to eat while I'm doing this, and striking a balance with my employer.) > --Brett -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
