Same as with 4.0 (this was the last time I wanted to try BSD). Both cards work fine under Win9x/2K + Linux 2.4.x

Both the Pro/100B and Pro/100+ boards are fully supported. The problem
that you described is a problem with your motherboard PCI BIOS not properly
allocating a shared memory region for the device registers to be mapped.
