thanks for your response.
Well, I think they're not really common in routers but as
PCI slots
are becoming more and more a limited resource, more people
will use
an usb NIC to attach their DSL lines or attach new subnets.
On my SoHo Server I'm using one for the DSL line and one
for
attaching an open WLAN AP on a permanent basis. Also using
them a
lot for testing purposes.
Anyway, I've already checked altq(9) which describes the
driver
transition and I thought about patching the drivers myself.
I've got a bunch of aue, one kue and a few currently
unsupported NICs.
So are you going to patch these drivers or may I do it and
will you
commit the changes to cvs if that works out?
Greetings,
Volker
