I've got two of the DFE cards in a couple of FreeBSD boxes I use as routers, and the both have been working fine for about a year. The cards were working fine in the 3.x branch, and are working in 4.x. For me they just show up as 4 de devices. I know someone else who was running -CURRENT that was having problems with them, but that was a while ago. -- Chip Marshall http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ Finger for PGP GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a18>?
