Media autodetection is probably still broken, but the 21140A(C?) should at least be detected now. The problem with media detection is that the three link flags are insufficient to express all combinations. That's Matt's biggest problem with the driver, and if i'm not mistaken, this caused him to restructure the newer version of the driver (which can be found in the NetBSD tree, but is according to Matt too buggy to use them). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
