I'm not picky as to model (SMC, > Linksys, DEC, etc.) - I just need to find one that works. Lots of NIC's are based on the DEC Tulip. The 2104x series is 10m bps, 2114x is the 10/100. The 40's were variations on additional control and autosensing the port/speed. Z`nyx is a manufacturer of good Tulip based ethernet cards. Somewhere along the time frame of FreeBSD 2.0.5 and 2.2.0 the de driver failed on my 1st generation 21040 Z`nyx card. Got fed up with it eventually and bought an NE2000 ISA clone that is still running in the same box today. Gave the 21040 away. Bought Intel NIC's ever since because that is what David Goodman uses. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
