I'm about to buy an IBM T42 laptop, I can choose between an Intel Centrino 2200bg [ndis only], a Cisco aeronet [uses the an driver], or an abg mini-pci card that's supposed to be based on an a Atheros 5001X. I'm a reasonably competent geek, but haven't done any serious kernel work. I am methodical and not prone to hysteria. I'd been planning to get the atheros based card, because it's sounded like you'd put together a nice driver. On the other hand, you're making it sound like we haven't kept up with it very well. First question, would the aeronet be a better choice? Second question, would a naive set of hands with *some but not huge amounts* of spare time be useful to you? It would probably be several weeks before the hardware even arrives..... g. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
