I looked around in the doc files for any mention of support for the DEC 21140-AC chip but there wasn't any. Questions: 1. Is the DEC 21140-AC (note the AC) chip supported in FBSD? 2. If so, which version of FBSD should I use? 3. If not, when would there be support? 4. Could I be doing anything else wrong that is causing the network connection being dead? The cards work with MS Windoze so I know that my ethernet port and cable are ok. -- Sohail Aslam Department of Computer Science, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) Lahore, Pakistan tel: 92-42-572-2670 fax: 92-42-572-2591 email: aslam@lums.edu.pk
