There is Wavelan support in -current, and a driver for 2.2 is available from ftp://smith.net.au/FreeBSD/wavelan/ (Note that this site will be down for the next 24 hours or so due to a broken bridge in a locked room). There's a new revision of the driver due soon, which adds support for the new 2.4HGz WaveModem-based cards. The limiting factor at the moment is my time and that of the active developers/testers. There's lots of interest in this, so I'll probably make a fair amount of noise when it's ready. > Nick. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
