That's good information to have on hand, particularly as the newer notebooks are coming with these Mini-PCI Express cards and slots. I expect that we'll be needing an update to the GenMAC supported hardware list in short order. To that end, I would encourage everyone who has a newer notebook with one of these Mini-PCI Express cards to submit the PCI information to the GenMAC support list, per the information in the driver package. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
