Re: PNA?

 Do we support any of the PNA 2.0 cards (10 Mb net over telephone line)? E.G.
 3com 3c410, or D-Link DHN-520?

No; as far as I'm aware they're all using the Broadcom MAC, and Broadcom 
refuse to give us documentation.

I don't know whether their chips support version 2.0 of the standard (how
important is this?) but Davicom Semiconductor is listed at
http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/hardware.html .

10 seconds with their site confirms that they only support the 1Mbps 
standard.  2.0 is the standard revision which covers 10Mbps operation.
