Hmmm. This sounds similar to the IBM LAN Entry card which is going for about $30/each in the various markets these days. Ask me in about a month for a beta driver. This card can do T1ish speeds (the bitrate is in the 1mb range, if I recall correctly). For $30 each you can't go too wrong. Oh, and you don't need a base station either :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
