Hi Guy,

Yes, indeed a long time. I'm somehow managing to get thru these `interesting
times' we all are living since Sep 11th. Hope the same holds true for you
guys (no pudding 8-) ).

Please do so. You can send to the list as diff (if it's small) or make it
available thru your FTP or WWW site.

I understand; I live on a budget too. Anyway, you can update your web site
to state that support for your card is now available on the latest stable
distribution of FreeBSD (4.4):  my driver is integrated in the code base of
the system. In fact, I'm using this version. May be this extends the user
base a little. I don't see many complains of it, so I think it's doing OK
for others too.
