This card I have also had problems with. It appears to be an 8185, but nothing works with it. Even in Windows, unless you have the Belkin drivers, it won't work properly. I couldn't load the Windows driver with ndisgen either, and ndiswrapper in Linux doesn't work either, nor does the Realtek Linux driver. -- R< $&h ! > $- ! $+ $@ $2 < @ $1 .UUCP. > (sendmail.cf) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
