Grrr! In my haste to send this mail out, I forgot to Cc mobile ;( Here we go. -ben Well, that would work if I had the older novatel merlin, but I have the newer one capable of 128KB/s when used with Ricochet. But, just to ease my mind I had tried it earlier ;) So again, has anyone successfuly gotten this card to work under FreeBSD or any of the BSD's? Again, this is the Novatel Merlin PCMCIA card for Ricochet. For more information, see http://www.novatelwireless.com/pcproducts/ricochet.html Thanks!
