The Home-PNA cards look like ethernet cards to the kernel. Does the specification tell something about the PROTOCOLS to be run, that I have not checked. For example, the Tulip driver (www.scyld.com) understands PHY interface called Home-PNA. Comparing to the Ethernet (10/100/1000/more Mbit/sec), the Home-PNA runs at 1 Mbit/sec. (And thus can use in-house CAT-3 telephony cabling.) > Kind Regards > Peter Revilll /Matti Aarnio
