that's true. is it because there's no hardware documentation available or
just no one wrote them?

if second - better to get time writing it instead of writing emulation
layer.

if first - looks like manufacturers are not interested in NetBSD users...

(WET-11's are damn cheap now.... about 70$ in Poland and connects through
10baseT ethernet - up to 300 metres of cable from computer/switch to
radioport).

having a possiblilty of running windrivers will slow down development...

but not drivers...(fortunately)
