No other driver will work with them. Xircom does not make programming information available unless you sign a nondisclosure (and probably pay some money as well). I think you should probably not expect drivers to appear for NetBSD. On the other hand D-Link sells a parallel port adaptor and I think they do make programming information available. There may even already be a driver. PCMCIA is to be preferred, of course.. -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA "Illegitimi non carborundum." <paul@vix.com> pacbell!vixie!paul (dont let the bastards grind you down)
