Hi again,

i think i will put all information i got on getting a dell truemobile 
1300 work together and make a howto on use with project-evil. but as i'm 
really new to bsd and unix in general. (~ 2 month) don't expect too much.
i will first have a look on how to get ndis working on 5.2.1 release, as 
i'm running fine with current.
i'll see how much time the weekend will leave over for this...

but i'll let you know.
