Hmmm, now this is interesting. When I specifically asked about those cards a week or 2 ago, I was told 'weren't supported, not going to be'. If these *do* have a driver, they're perfect. (but note, I am talking 10Mb, not the older 1Mb standard...) -----Original Message----- From: bmah@cisco.com [mailto:bmah@cisco.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 10:46 AM To: Gray, David W.

Ummm...you mean like the PCnet/Home and HomePNA based cards supported by the pcn(4) driver? (I don't actually have one of these cards, but I remember committing the release notes documenting this support. I think this happened around the time of 4.1.1.) > So the question is, what do you do for cheap, wireless or equivalent > connectivity? (By cheap I mean <$100/node, preferably < $50.)
