Grab a Linksys WMP11, open it up and use its MiniPCI to PCI adapter . Or, grab this (I think it's >$100). Do note, these cheap black connector arn't designed for constant swapping of cards.

I think that's the whole point (though the original Lucent 11b MiniPCI has a PCMCIA bridge, Prism2.5 and the new "Ruby" from Agere are 'pure PCI'). -- Matt Peterson another.geek.without.a.life matt@peterson.org http://matt.peterson.org/ ------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
