I just tried a DEGPA-TA in my PWS500au with bug. SRM does not see the card, but Tru64 5.1A initialises it correctly during boot. Autonegotiate problems with a brain dead unmanaged switch have been solved with lan_config. Diagnosis: works perfectly in a 64bit slot. pci_device_override is set to -1 and pci_parity is 1. I have no possibility to test the card with FreeBSD at the moment. The question remains if it is reasonable to buy a network card that is more expensive than a used Miata. Wolfgang Rupp
