I have been trying to determine (pre-purchasing) whether an Intel 82571EB - PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adaptor will work with: =20 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p11 i386 =20 I am setting up a pfsense firewall and need a fiber NIC, the current documentation on 6.2R for both (i386 and ia64) mention that: =20 "The em(4) driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546, 82546EB, 82546GB, 82547, 82571, 82572 and 82573 controller chips", but this makes no specific reference to the 82571EB which is an LC Fiber Gigabit card. =20 A search of the mailing lists has not clarified the issue for me, would anyone be able to advise me as to whether this NIC works on 6.2. =20 Thanks in advance. Gary
