I since moved >to a 3c905 based card, so I dropped it. I've apparantly completely spaced it since I don't even remember seeing those patches. I don't appear to have anything saved in my mailbox about it, either. Did I reply with something that indicated that I saw them?? The last thing I recall seeing which was NE2000 related were some patches from Jonathan Bresler that added support for a Linksys PCMCIA card, to which I replied that the detection test was weak and may false-identify non-Linksys cards. In any case, I've been out of town a lot recently and have been too busy to deal with a lot of things like this. I really don't think it is fair to me for you to make baseless accusations of me 'dismissing' a submission due to some sort of pride/territory problem. That simply isn't the way that I operate and I'm truely sorry that you've gotten that impression. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
