Oh, come one. If you are a long supporter, user and hacker, you can surely come up with a good solution that a) works and b) is not a damn ugly hack This is the same issue as with PCI-E hardware. _Lots_ of people request it, but nobody is going to implement and test it. Well, I can't do it for you, as I don't have the hardware. -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
