We are looking at some Compaq's with built-in ethernet adapters. I found a local CompUSA that also carried these, went down there with the two FreeBSD boot floppies and asked if I could try them out, thinking that if the card comes up detected correctly then it would most likely work. It took a little bit of convincing of manager to let me do it ( their notebooks are locked up ) but he did let me do it. He then proceded to make some lame comment about how it looked like DOS. It was all I could do to keep from telling him that the longer he spoke, the less intelligent he sounded. At any rate, we ended up buying Dell's with out built in ethernet. --- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu The Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
