Well, unless there are some of you out there that have Lucent WildWire cards *and* compatible DSL service, and you just can't wait to get a driver, I can wait a little while... ;-) That is, presuming you meant "_should_ make it into 4.1" :), which isn't *that* far away... When and where should I look for information on how "module parameters" work? (I don't have the time or resources to run both 4.x and -current) BTW, there *are* hundreds of thousands of the boards out there in Compaq, Dell, and HP computers, but most of them are being used only as V.90 Winmodems for the time being -- the boards can do either V.90 or DSL with the appropriate driver, though not simultaneously...
