Ok; this seems to come up a lot and I usually respond via email but I'm getting tired of this... I have a mostly working 3c509 driver that I've been working on for far too long... There's a couple of problems with it that I've addressed in my mind mostly.. However; I have several things I have to do before I can go back to working on it (mostly Windsurfing, waterskiing, suntanning, climbing, and drinking)... I have yet to look at the recently announced Linux 3c509 driver but plan to do that to see if it can address any of the problems that I'm having... I always offer to give out my existing code on the off chance that someone has more energy and time than I do to get it working... But invariably I end up getting requests to photocopy and mail my documentation which is something I'm tiring of doing... So; to everyone who's waiting for a 3c509 driver; I say "keep waiting; it'll happen someday"... <maybe this should go in the FAQ? :-)> -- hpeyerl@novatel.cuc.ab.ca (actual but UUCP) | NovAtel Commnications Ltd. hpeyerl@fsa.ca <faster> | <nothing I say matters anyway> <NetBSD: A drinking group with a serious computing problem!>
