I found numerous articles describing this device. One such site: http://www.examiner.com/pc-game-in-national/bigfoot-killer-2100-review-review In any case, the OP can check out this URL for more precise information: http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/killer-2100/ I think it is rather clear that this is not in all probability going to work on a non-windows OS. Nothing surprising there. As Willie Sutton so prominently stated, "Go where the money is... and go there often." I wouldn't want to hold my breath waiting for a driver either. In any case, its your money. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored. Do not CC this poster.
