We're looking at them and WaveLAN cards for ad-hoc routing research and possiable campus wide wiring. I believe the comments were not so much about the hardware/drivers as about problems getting access to the specs which resulted in a limited subset of the cards being supported. Since some people reported good results and we'll appparently be seeing a driver soon, I'm inclined to believe it's mostly just "but the VHDL source wasn't released under the GPL" bitching. ;-) -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
