Wes,
quite correct. I considered revisiting the matter non-important since anyone
that would
use fbsd 3.4 or later should have such features by default...(otherwise wavelan
support would
be pretty stranded :)..
Now, I have my reservations about the card's statistics counters.....I have yet to
see working statistics
on the wavelan interface...That has *not* been working since 3.4 for me...anyone
that can tell me I am
wrong...please do as I want to use these stats pretty badly...
