If there is a more appropriate place for this type of question, please let me know. The google search just turned up various copies of the Hardware Release Notes for freebsd. I found this document linked to aue(4) when going the Hardware Notes: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/ man.cgi?query=aue&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.6-RELEASE This document says that the driver is for a USB ethernet adapters. Mine is a pci card with an RJ-45 port. Any idea why this would be? I did find a driver download from speedstream.com, but I would not know how to determine which is the correct driver for FreeBSD. Furthermore, I would not know where or how to install it. Working with unix, will I typically find drivers supplied by a hardware manufacturer, or are they more often built by other means? Thanks for your help. patrick On Tuesday, August 27, 2002, at 09:44 PM, Charles Pelletier wrote: > bsdnet calls it the aue(4) driver. just do a google search for your > card AND > freebsd. that'll help. > > --charlie pelletier > --litmus(mp3.com/litmus) > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Patrick Whalen" > To: > Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 8:57 PM > Subject: NIC > > >> I am a macintosh user who has been drawn into FreeBSD because of Mac >> OS >> X.
