I think a port is going to be the most viable solution for now - this thing requires a linux .o file as part of the module, and unless we uuencode the thing and write some Makefile glue for installing it (which is icky), it's not going to be a good candidate for contrib. Perhaps one of the ports crew would be so kind as to read the instructions in: http://www.geocities.com/wtnbkysh/INSTALL-rough-translation-en.TXT and use their advanced Makefile-fu to automate the process? Lucent "lose modem" support is overdue enough as it is. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
