Please pardon my ignorance ... but a couple of questions:

1. Do the Tulip drivers I've seen in FreeBSD 2.1.0 drive that card?
Or do I have to live "on the edge" a bit more?

2. Will that card also do full-duplex 100mb/s?  If so, is there
anything extra needed kernel-hack-wise, ifconfig-wise, or otherwise?
