Thanks for the advice! :) I found a cool card: the Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet 82540EM (which will do 1G over CAT5). On the "FreeBSD 4.7R Hardware Notes" I found this comment: "Gigabit Ethernet NICs based on the Intel 82542 and 82543 controller chips (wx(4), gx(4) and em(4) drivers), plus NICs supported by the Intel 82540EM, 82544, 82545EM, and 82546EB controller chips (em(4) driver only). Note: The wx(4) driver is deprecated. Note: The em(4) driver is officially supported by Intel, but is only supported on the i386." Does that, in normal English, mean this card is supported? I'd hate to buy such a nice card, only to have it not work with FreeBSD 4.7R.
