I suppose that there is no default driver for these NICs, as they are not reconized during the system install. I know that they work on FreeBSD 5.2.1, but the application that I'm intend to use only works on version 4.x. About loading and unload modules, I have to do that using /boot/loader.conf or there is a command line to do it? It's not dangerous to tweak the code? Can I damage the NIC? Thanks, Augusto
