I've trawled for posts on this and have found plenty mentioning how easy it was to get the ISA version working, but have had no solid confirmations that the PCI one will work. There have been mumblings of incompatibilities with some motherboards, talk of support coming soon but nothing definite. Has anyone set one up, or managed to get one working ? I was under the impression the PCI versions won't work until FreeBSD 5 because the PCI version effectivly requires newcard. The "PCI" card here is really just a PCCARD controller on an PCI card that you plug an off-the-shelf Wavelan/Orinoco card into. OTOH, the ISA version works fine (although the controllers use a slightly unusual memory address IIRC). -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
