However, the SMC 100Mb/s ethernet cards do NOT work in these boards in 100Mb/s mode - though they work OK in 10Mb/s mode, as do the plain 10Mb/s cards (I am told that the same problem applies under other O/S, so this isn't a FreeBSD driver problem). SMC say it's a motherboard problem, the motherboard suppliers say its SMC's problem. I am told that the Endeavor boards do not have this problem, but have not personally verified this. Andrew
