Thanks for the tip, I've saved that off and know have a place to send the folks who come looking to me for parts/systems from the UK. > I put my own SMC EtherPower cards in these, but GND will sell you a (cheaper) > ASUS card also based on the same DEC chipset supported by the `de' driver (I > don't have any information on whether these just work, though). I am really replying to make a correction here, the ASUS PCI-L101-TB ethernet card is based on an AMD Am79C970 chip and absolutely will not run with the ``de'' driver. It may, however, work with the ``lnc'' driver. > Mark Valentine at Home -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
