Hi Everyone, I have an IBM Thinkpad R40e and I have a dual boot with Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.9 - Release... My Windows XP's Device Manager says that my NIC is Broadcom NeXtreme Fast Ethernet. I have used a Corega USB LAN Card with FreeBSD and have not encountered any problems. The reason why I want to use my Broadcom NeXtreme Fast Ethernet with FreeBSD is that I wanted to just switched from my 2 OSes and not have to take my LAN Cable on/off my NIC... I have searched the mailing list archives and found that some people are setting "device miibus" and "device bge" in their kernel configuration in order to use Broadcom NICs...If I do this, will this work on my laptop too? Or I really have to forget my Broadcom NIC and use my USB Corega LAN Card for FreeBSD? Thanks for any response, advice, and help... Rommel B. Ikedahome | help
