I was using some recently and there are some new drivers for 95/NT that support the "ad-hoc" networking mode. As for the other complaints I can't say anything as I've never used them before but I'd like to know about the h/w i/f on the 802.11 cards as a Linux/BSD driver would be useful to me (to avoid buying a WavePOINT to get at our Ethernet from the wireless hosts and to avoid NT for obvious reasons). > I also notice the www.wavelan.com site is no longer responding No, it's up and I'm looking at it now. The DNS says its 195.108.47.86 if you suspect stale DNS troubles. -- Andy Newman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
