I even went through trying a bunch of numbers instead of the 0x07 as well. After trying a bunch of permutations including the above, I finally gave up, exchanged (upgraded) the card for a 3Com Megahertz 574B. It isn't quite supported under 3.4 althouth I did make it work (ep0 didn't pick up the correct MAC addr but the bogus one it came up with still worked). But I upgraded the laptop to 4.0-CURRENT and it's quite happy now, with the correct MAC addr. For all I know, the Edimax card itself may have been bad. Thanks anyway! -- Parag To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
