I'd like to use US Robotics usr5410 wireless pcmcia card on my FBSD 6.3 laptop. I understand this card is (was?) supported by port net/acx100. However, the net/acx100/Makefile has: BROKEN= Does not compile on FreeBSD >= 6.x In addition the port maintainer's website, dev.kewl.org, states that acx100 is obsolete, and was replaced by acx100+111. However, there is no FBSD port for acx100+111. Is anybody using net/acx100? On what version of FBSD? Is anybody using acx100+111? What is the best way to install it? Is anybody using usr5410? With what driver? And what version of FBSD? Any other advice on getting usr5410 working on FBSD 6.3? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
