Any ideas where to look for this? My reason is that I have a new computer with the ASUS motherboard in an Intel Core2 Duo configuration. This board has an ATTANSIC Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on it which apparently is fairly new and may not be supported. I have found with Linux that the Debian distros, the Gentoo distros and the SUSE distros all support this (Ubuntu, Mepis, Open SUSE, Sabayon, OpenGEU) while the Slackware ones will in the next release. I would like to use the BSD release if it can support this ethernet adapter but the older PC-BSD did not. Is there a release that does include this ethernet device? I have been looking for something that lists the hardware supported and I keep running into something that says check the release to see the hardware support info but so far all I find is that notice. I don't find the hardware support list anywhere. Thanks. Dick Thompson rhomp2002@earthlink.net
