Hi, I got a new network adapter (Longshine 8039TX; take a look here: http://longshine.de/produkt/1000mbit/giga-eng.html). I have been looking for drivers for STABLE and found this post: http://www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg08427.html It mentions a module (sources), which you can download here: http://www.icplus.com.tw/Data/driver/TC902X_FreeBSD.zip The chipset comes from the company: Tamarack Microelectronics Inc. in Taiwan. I installed it on my STABLE box and it seems to work fine. Can someone of the committers take a look at the sources? I think the license is OK (it seems to be a BSD-type license). I hope that you can confirm that it is safe to use this module. For those who want to try it, here some advice (it's really weird, so read it please): 1) unzip the file in an empty folder 2) extract the tar-ball 3) rename the Readme.txt to rio.tgz 4) extract rio.tgz 5) cp the Makefile from ./rio subdirectory to the directory with the module sources 6) create a soft-link "pci -> ." in the same directory 7) run make 8) done, the result is: if_rio.ko I've asked to add it to ports ealier, but noone answered to me. I have tested this driver for 3 weeks now and it works well for me on FreeBSD-4.9-STABLE. It does not compile on CURRENT. Martin
