My opinion: In fact, I'm *interested* in whether Xircom's card works under our package, but I don't know whether it works because I don't want to buy Xircom's card. I heard from Linux community that Xircom has violated GPL (they used GPL'ed code for their driver, and they did not provide sources). This is one of the largest reason why I don't want to support Xircom's cards. If it's not true and if there is a driver for Xircom's card, I could distribute driver for Xircom's cards. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi E-mail: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp WWW homepage: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html Department of Computer Science, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan
