Supported by 'wi' driver. WEP and monitoring modes work. I don't know how much of interference you will get from having something directly above it, but I guess you'll find out. USB 2.0: IBM ThinkPad USB 2.0 Cardbus Adapter (pay no heed to ThinkPad part of the name ;). It has an external pigtail with the connector to the card being slightly thinner then the card itself. Pigtail is about 10cm long, which should safely get it out of the way. IBM P/N 33L3245. IBM FRU for card 32P5080, for pigtail 32P5081. Ethernet: Linksys Network Everywhere NP100 (10/100). Supported by 'ed' driver. 16-bit PCMCIA. Another one with pigtail and slim connector to the card. I have vague recollection that it has sister card which is 10 Mbit only, but I no longer own it to give you exact model. Hope this helps. -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko (ааЛаЕаКбаАаНаДб ааОаВаАаЛаЕаНаКаО) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
