Ok, here's my understanding of it: The Xircom cards require a download before they'll function, and this download code is available if you sign an NDA and jump through several other hoops. BSDI has done this, and BSD/OS does support the Xircom though I have also been informed that: 1. The driver was a royal pain-in-the-butt to write. 2. We free software folks REALLY don't even want to see the document that Xircom makes you sign to get ahold of the downloadable code. It's pretty scary. Jordan
