Yes, I noticed the above commit message causing the UPDATING comment. That's when I tried (once more) a "D-Link DFE650TX" card in both an Compaq Armada and a Toshiba Sattelite, both with -CURRENT snapshot boot floppies and complete 4.2-STABLE systems (and updated pccard.conf files). Up to now with no success. Triggered by a recent list article I will do another test later this week with the fa_select(8?) utility mentioned at www.freebsddiary.org/last-netgear.html and see if it will work this time. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
