I've got to routers running with one DFE-570TX each, and so far FreeBSD has had no problem with them (under 3.4 at least, havn't tried 4.0 out on them yet.) Each card simply shows up as 4 de devices. All the special features that are displayed on the Dlink website are just things they put into the NT drivers for the card, nothing special with the card as far as I can tell. -- Chip Marshall <chip@eboai.org> http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ PGP keys on website or by finger GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a--- C++(+++) UB++++ P+++>$ L- E--- W++ N+(++) o K? w O M+ V- PS PE Y?
