It is running 4.0 Release. Now I know that this particular NIC isn't on the FreeBSD HCL or whatever, but I have drivers for Linux and SCO. Since my play machine has the SCO and Linux compatibility built in, shouldn't I still be able to use this NIC? Could someone please advise me if what I'm attempting is possible, or would I be better off pulling the card and installing another? I have access to several other supported cards I could use, but since I'm dual booting BSD and Microsoft I am reluctant to change hardware (My wife has forbidden me to take the computer apart again.) ;-) Thanks for your time.
