Does anyone here have any experience with them yet? If they're any good, will they work with FreeBSD? They appear to use the DECchip 21140 so unless they've done something weird on the card I assume the FreeBSD driver will work. I've got a couple of the Netgear 10 Mbit hubs and, other than one which was DOA, they seem to be solid and reliable -- given the price, an excellent value. Hopefully the 10/100 cards are the same. -- Karl Swartz |Home kls@chicago.com |Work kls@netapp.com |WWW http://www.chicago.com/~kls/ Moderator of sci.aeronautics.airliners -- Unix/network work pays the bills
