However, when people were originally interested in writing drivers for the cards, Xircom was unwilling to give out information. No drivers are written and given the number of other cards out there that do work, I doubt you'll find someone to write a driver unless you have $$ to throw at them. (Don't ask me, I'm too busy with other paying work.)
