Replying to my own message, on http://www.asus.com.tw/mb/socketa/a7n266-e/overview.htm Asus claim that the ethernet controller is a Realtek RTL 8139, which would appear to be convered by the rl driver. Any comments would still be appriciated though. Andrew. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
