I recommend reading, inter alia, the following -questions thread: "Who's got the cheapest 100-BT Ethernet NIC?". :-) In this connection, you might want to browse the archives (http://www.freebsd.org/mail), or "google" (http://www.google.com). One aside. As to the Intel Etherexpress 100 B Pro (aka "PILA8460B"), it appears not to be currently available in Italy -- according to the responses I received a couple of weeks ago from a number of [Intel] distributors/resellers. Moreover, it would seem that, at the moment, the card isn't available in Europe, either. YMMV. -- Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
