These files are unrelated to those above. These files appear to be newer than either those in pcmcia-cs or those in the latest (1.5.000) Cisco driver, which are based on the same original code. The advantage of the pcmcia-cs drivers is that they work with earlier kernels. The advantage of the Cisco drivers is that they are Cisco-approved [tm]. -- Thomas Hood DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL BUT TO: jdthood_AT_yahoo.co.uk _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/
