Grab a Linksys WMP11, open it up and use its MiniPCI to PCI adapter <http://www.bawug.org/images/equipment/linksys/wmp11/>. Or, grab this <http://www.catalyst-ent.com/Products/Adapters/minipci/minipci3.htm> (I think it's >$100). Do note, these cheap black connector arn't designed for constant swapping of cards. The Soekris board has a much nicer Foxconn connector. > PS: BTW, is there any difference between std PCI and mini PCI > interfaces at driver level ? Not that I know of.. I think that's the whole point (though the original Lucent 11b MiniPCI has a PCMCIA bridge, Prism2.5 and the new "Ruby" from Agere are 'pure PCI'). -- Matt Peterson another.geek.without.a.life [email protected] http://matt.peterson.org/ ------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [email protected] with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
