Hi, I'm the 'proud' or otherwise owner of 3 x 2940UW's, the only problem I've had with them has been termination - which was my fault, and with 40Mhz kicking around ribbon cable - you probably can't blame them for that... ;-) I've never had any problems with them in FreeBSD - some people say there not the fastest, to be honest - I've not tried anything else (though I've thought about it). They work, and at this point in my life - I'm quite happy with things that 'work'... (maybe that explains why I'm running FreeBSD? <G>) Regards, Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
