There may be hope, if you're interested, I just spent a bit of time this weekend getting the Netgear MA-301 working. ( The MA-301 is a PLX based PCI bridge that an MA-401 PC card is inserted into ). All that I needed to do was change the following defines in src/sys/dev/wi/if_wireg.h: #define WI_PCI_VENDOR_EUMITCOM 0x1638 #define WI_PCI_DEVICE_PRISM2STA 0x1100 To: #define WI_PCI_VENDOR_EUMITCOM 0x1385 #define WI_PCI_DEVICE_PRISM2STA 0x4100 Admittedly, I have no clue what I'm doing, as I have never even looked at a data sheet for these critters, but, so far, it appears to work fine. ;-) If the MiniPCI card is based on the PLX, similar modifications may be all you need. If it is PLX based, boot with the verbose option and find the vendor and device codes for it. Season the above defines to taste, and voila! Once we have a clue as to the cards now coming onto the market, iterating through the various vendor and device codes in the wi driver should be pretty trivial. BTW, the MA-401 is a Prism2 based card, and works out of box on -current in a PC card slot. Sure beats running 300' of CAT5 into the backyard! My most humble thanks to Bill Paul for writing the wi driver and to all those who have maintained to it. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Kenneth P.
