No, I was only talking about getting it to work on windows, god forbid you even attempt to try it with BSD =-O , Maybe I just had a lemon, but I can tell you that I will never buy any wireless gear from them again. As far as Wireless USB networking, I won't be trying that again for a long long time. I'll stick with the tried and true WAP11, WET11*, and PCMCIA/PCI Wireless networking gear thank you very much. *Linksys WET11 (Wireless to Ethernet bridge), I would recommend this in a heart beat, I had one of those in a 3 dollar plastic container all the way up in a tree (wasn't my idea) for a year before It gave out. I live in northern Illinois and it gets very cold in the winter and very hot (humid) in the summer here, when I took it down from the tree the blue Linksys color was completely faded to gray. I had no major problems with it, and even after it gave out I managed to savage the PCMCIA Prism 3 card plus antenna assembly (did I tell yea the range on it, 200m NearLOS) from it and am using it to this day as my AP at home. I give this product 6 out of 5 stars. --- Nikolas Britton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Project Evil, Yes, That's what I'd call the netgear MA111. This is the most flakiest POS I have ever see.
