They were, yes. But once when the sendmail daemon wasn't running. I checked the mail queue before i sent it again and it wasn't there. Perhaps sendmail stores failed mail somewhere I'm not familiar with. EUSERERROR would seem to apply.. Anyway, I finally got around to installing exim and everyone is happy. > > > Anyway.. just an update to the installation instructions.

It's treated like any other network device. Raw network data is sent and received over the USB transfer pipes and dealt with using mbufs in the normal way. The main difference is that you can only submit one packet at a time, so there is effectively no hardware queue/ring. The wireless part seems to be a cross between 'ath' devices and 'wi' devices. WEP is done in hardware, as is scanning. Scan results are processed in software. Stuart
