However, I had to update the driver "if_de.c" from the FreeBSD-current source tree. The 2.2.1 release version of the driver would not work with this card. I simply installed the newer driver, rebuilt my kernel and voila it now works at both 10 and 100 mbits with autodetection. Very neat. You might try the updated driver before giving up. -- Mikel
