I don't think there will be any 4.0-PAO floppies. We are busy merging PAO into the main FreeBSD repository. As of recently, there have been a number of MFPAO3's and newcard commits by Iwasaki-san and Warner Losh. If the 3CXFEM656C is a Cardbus card (as I assume based on the last alpha character in its name), then you'll have to wait until we have Cardbus code in the tree (which MAY be in by 4.1, but more likely 4.2). However, if it's anything like the other 3Com cards, writing the actual driver will be easy (what's needed at this point is the base code for pccard + cardbus). So, as soon as we get done with the base code, I'm sure that if someone loans a 3CXFEM656C card, a driver will be written. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
