I don't know of any such thing, no. Looking at the driver, I am struck by several things, such as the fact that the card appears to be receive-only. You could probably hack something together using the information in this driver and an existing network driver to provide the template, but it would represent some interesting work (as the card isn't really an ethernet, and you don't want to ever talk out through it). -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
