I'm not interested in having it work if it requires an eclectic combination of add/removing hardware after booting or whatnot. What do you mean by changing the speed of the system? I can try running -current, but I doubt there'll be much change from my -stable--though, yea, it can't hurt. At the end of the day, I might just get another laptop with on-board Ethernet instead and, therefore, drop this routing over Cardbus bus stuff. Thanks, D
