The RoamAbouts do not have a concept of a "Cell Leader", which these cards need. Still, these would be great for around the house. Have you found any leads on programming documentation for these cards or what chipsets they're based on? They'd be fun to play with at $30 a pop if they was any chance of making them work. regards, Ken Key -- Ken Key (key@Network-Alchemy.com) Network Alchemy, Santa Cruz, CA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
