Which, I suppose, explains the yo-yo effect of my two xe (4) PC Cards, amongst others, and why my wi (4) card no longer behaves itself. Up-down-up-down-up-down... I keep expecting it to either lose weight or make a mess in the slot <bg> One is a Xircom RealPort, so it's not the "dongle", as is so often the case with the CE3s. It works only if I force it to 10BaseT, half duplex, even manually configured with ifconfig. It's not all bad. ath and ndis cards behave themselves, as do my 3Com 905Bs (if one discounts imp@'s PCI pointy hat of last week - there were many dead rottweilers in my test machine at that point). These are small prices to pay for 6.0's goodness. Without a doubt, 6.0 is the best release I have used, bar none, and the WiFi features that wpaul@, sam@ et. al. have worked so hard to give us are excellent. sos@ deserves a mention for the vastly improved ATA controller support list that nobody seems to notice, too. FWIW, I did think the switch to OpenBSD's dhclient was poorly thought out, since the ISC client did things like DDNS, which I needed. I managed to work around the loss of these features, but it still feels like I've an arm missing when configuring interfaces... -- Matt Dawson.
