Since yesterday I can second your comments abou the PAO Release. I'm also very pleased with it. My D-LINK 650 works fine and I achieved average ftp rates as high as 650 KB/s between my notebook, a P100 and another FreeBSD system with a Amd DX4-100 5x86. > > The D-Link card is configured and probed after the kernel unsuccessfully > probes for an ed device - you need device ed in kernel and the standard PAO > database (? I'm unsure of the name) supplies the PC Card parameters. The only problem I sometimes see is that DHCP doesn't give me the IP address right away. Routed also says something about an already existing socket or something. Havn't investigated it further, since I was so happy that I had IP/ethernet connectivity at all. > > The only problem with the D-Link is that the card is delivered with a UTP > and BNC adapter and this bulky fitting connects to the card by a tiny > "Honda" connector (like a micro SCSI fitting).
