I've found most "cheap and generic" hardware to be a plus; so didn't intend that as a put-down. My hub and most NIC's are Linksys, which is another cheap/generic. The way I see it, these generic mfg's have to constantly make their stuff better or they'll be out on the street. That said, I'm still trying to see if I can make the Belkin 3-button "Classic" work in 3-button mode, PS/2 protocol. ...I think I cheap'd out on this one! Anybody who has the Belkin F8E201NW working with /dev/psm0 has magic fingers; I'd like to get my ten bucks worth... . gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
