I have one of these working with 4.5-PRERELEASE: http://www.addtron.com/products/awa100.htm I bought it only because it said it was compatible with Linux, and was thrilled to see that it worked with FreeBSD. I'm getting about 5+ Mbps over it. The only problem, which I reported here a couple weeks ago, is that I regularly get kernel messages on the console about "oversized packets". Other than annoying, it doesn't seem to be a problem. Does anyone know if those messages indicate a real error situation that can be fixed on my end, is this just debug output, or what? By the way, the Addtron AWA-100 PCI card looked identical to one sold by 3Com under the USRobotics brand, but was less expensive at Fry's: $79 for the Addtron vs. $140 for the USRobotics. The $79 package also included the Addtron pccard, which, amazingly, sells separately for $110. --Morgan > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd- > stable@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Richard Shaw > Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 5:36 AM > To: Freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: PCI Wavelan cards under 4.4 > > > > Hi, > > I'm attempting to get a 3com wavelan 3crwe777a PCI card working under 4.4 > Release.
