Well, unless there are some of you out there that have Lucent WildWire cards
*and* compatible DSL service, and you just can't wait to get a driver, I can
wait a little while... ;-) That is, presuming you meant "_should_ make it
into 4.1" :), which isn't *that* far away...
When and where should I look for information on how "module parameters"
work? (I don't have the time or resources to run both 4.x and -current)
BTW, there *are* hundreds of thousands of the boards out there in Compaq,
Dell, and HP computers, but most of them are being used only as V.90
Winmodems for the time being -- the boards can do either V.90 or DSL with
the appropriate driver, though not simultaneously...
Thanks,
Gary
