It should be removed then. When merging the Intel versions of driver to FreeBSD, I've noticed that some PCI IDs disappeared from vendor driver. Since I couldn't obtain any comments from the release tarball, I decided to be on safe side and leave these PCI IDs in the driver untouched. Which exact one are you speaking about? The E1000_DEV_ID_82542, that is equal to 0x1000 is supported by em-6.1.4 vendor's driver. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. GLEBIUS-RIPN GLEB-RIPE
