I even checked it against a real although old Cisco. It does seem that Cisco changed their format a little in recent IOS releases, but a fix for that was commited to -CURRENT and 2.2-STABLE in the beginning of August. > I like both cards. The SDL card is cheaper, but the ET card is made for > FreeBSD and has more features. There is also the Arnet/Digi SYNC570i cards with a driver that is part of FreeBSD, ar(4).
