The man page for iwn(4) lists the 5100 but not the 5300. I am not familiar enough with this Intel hardware to know if they are close enough to each other (work-alikes) for the iwn(4) driver. This might be worth my trying (to rebuild my kernel) this weekend if I get the chance. Thanks again! :-) Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu 72 characters width template ----------------------------------------->|
