As far as the DEC cards go, see PR misc/18641, we have been trying to get some old DEC cards to Paul Richards so that he can work on a fix for the le(4) driver, but fate keeps getting in the way. (BTW, I'm using these fine with FreeBSD 3.3 but 3.5 and above don't work) Please contact Paul if you can arrange to send the DEC cards to the UK. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
