: Is it possible to use HP 100VG NIC on *BSD?

I do not have an answer for that part of the question. I thought
someone did a driver for one of the free OS's, but I don't remember
who or which. :(

: or may i know whether Intel EtherExperss 100 Pro, 3Com3C595 or DEC
: 21140 based 100BaseT with the HP 100VG Hub?

No. 100BaseT cards will not successfully connect to a 100VG hub. The
physical layers are different.
