[Linux comments omitted -Lucas] The DE205 is supported, the `le' device, IIRC. What means "autoprobing?" I assume you mean, "Will the installer or operating system automatically determine that I have such a card and configure it correctly?" The answer is, probably not, since I don't believe this card is enabled in the default kernel. Building a new kernel which does support it is trivial, though; check the handbook. > From what I have read FreeBSD should support this NIC (I have the > "big FreeBSD book"). The book is correct. > Also, would a SCSI CD-ROM be supported (NEC)? Yes, provided the SCSI adapter itself is supported.
