Oh NO! I just bought it without following up on my posting in this newsgroup! $500 down the drain. Now, I only hope they give me a refund. That snivelling sales man I talked to over the phone said that it has very tight integration with FreeBSD and that the driver comes standard with the kernel. Is this true? He even said he was sending me the driver on disk. He sent me the SCO one instead. What an asshole. I checked the FTP site. Nothing there either. But the FreeBSD handbook does recommend Cyclade cards. Can someone please give me an idea whether this card will work? Dave
