I have one of these working with 4.5-PRERELEASE:

	http://www.addtron.com/products/awa100.htm

I bought it only because it said it was compatible with Linux, and was
thrilled to see that it worked with FreeBSD.  I'm getting about 5+ Mbps
over it.

The only problem, which I reported here a couple weeks ago, is that I
regularly get kernel messages on the console about "oversized packets".
Other than annoying, it doesn't seem to be a problem.  Does anyone know
if those messages indicate a real error situation that can be fixed on
my end, is this just debug output, or what?

By the way, the Addtron AWA-100 PCI card looked identical to one sold by
3Com under the USRobotics brand, but was less expensive at Fry's: $79
for the Addtron vs. $140 for the USRobotics.  The $79 package also
included the Addtron pccard, which, amazingly, sells separately for
$110.
