I was planning to make this DEC Tulip compatible card my standard, but I discovered that NetGear have replaced this card with the FA311 which is a National Semiconductor compatible (natsemi module in Linux 2.4). I have not been able to find any reference to this card in any compatibility documentation for FreeBSD. Is it supported by 4.2, and if not, will 4.3 support it? Any advice would be appreciated, although I have to say that performance with the RTL8029 card in FreeBSD is much better than in Linux :-). -- Phil Reynolds o ____ Internet: phil@tinsleyviaduct.com |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 67, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
