It appears to work on FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE nicely with my BayStack 650 (FH) and basestation. dhclient triggered directly from pccard_ether does not work; a forced delay of ~20 seconds after inserting the card seems to be required before the pretty lights will play. It is slightly more stable than the code in late november 1999 which had a tendency to lose its base station at the first sign of excess traffic, ie a simple test (ping -f -s 2048 le-laptop) from a 100meg workstation does not require reinserting the card to get it to find the base station again. FYI. --==-- Bruce. Now why is one of my WaveLAN cards making rattling noises... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
