For those who have gigabit ethernet NICs based on the National
Semiconductor DP83820 and DP83821 controller chips and want to use
them with FreeBSD 4.2 and 4.3, there is a driver kit now available
at the following URL:
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/National/dp83820_drv.tar.gz
This kit contains source and precompiled KLD modules for both the
x86 and alpha platforms. This driver supports the following cards:
SMC EZ Card 1000 (SMC9462TX)
D-Link DGE-500T
Asante FriendlyNet GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC
Addtron AEG320T
LinkSys EG1032 (32-bit PCI) and EG1064 (64-bit PCI)
Surecom Technology EP-320G-TX
Netgear GA622T
These cards are all extremely cheap (some can be had for under $100)
and fairly easy to find. (I now have one in my workstation.) They could
potentially become extremely popular, which is why I'm making a driver
retrofit kit available. Anyone running a recent 4-STABLE or 5.0-CURRENT
system should already have the necessary driver support.
Note that you must have the kernel sources installed to recompile the
driver.
Share and enjoy!
