I've just picked up a Linksys EtherFast model, which is >> standard PCMCIA (i.e., non-CardBus). Any hope of getting it working? I have three FastEthernet 16-bit cards. 3Com, LinkSys, and Xircom ones. I've not tested Xircom card yet, but I've tested other two cards. Both of them are terribly slow even with Windows drivers. They're slower than the faster 10BaseT cards! So, I think these cards exist only for interoperability. If you're interested in these cards, LinkSys' card works under FreeBSD/PAO with a little patch. I'll port it to -current and post it here (and commit it to -current if it has little problem). FYI: Now Linux has a driver for 3Com's FastEthernet card. Anybody can port or rewrite it? -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Network Technology Center Keio University hosokawa@ntc.keio.ac.jp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
