An important note is that *VERY* recently, John Marshall's tools bumped up to version 2.0, and seem to be officially adopted by 3Com. The official download site for 2.0 is the 3Com site, and 3Com has released updated SDKs patched to work with gcc. I haven't played around with John's version lately, but I was able to get it to work before. Maybe I'll put on my porter hat one weekend this month. Two important things I found with John's stuff: use gmake, and install bash. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
