I'm after some help on what gigabit = ethernet card=20 is supported on FreeBSD. I'm using=20 FreeBSD4.2-STABLE.
From what I've read, I've dug up the = following=20 info.
 
GENERIC has an entry for a wx - Intel = Gigabit=20 Ethernet Card (``Wiseman'').
'man wx' says it's for "the original = WISEMAN and=20 the newer LIVENGOOD chipsets"
/usr/src/sys/pci/if_wx.c says it's the = "Intel=20 Gigabit Ethernet (82452) Driver"
 
http://www= .intel.com/network/products/pro1000giga.htm talks=20 about an 82543GC Gigabit Controller. There are 2 NICs, a Pro/1000T and a = Pro/1000FS.
Intel don't seem to make any mention of = Wiseman or=20 Livengood chipsets.
 
My questions are:
1. Is the 82543GC Gigabit Controller = from Intel=20 supported? and
2. Do both the fibre optic and UTP = versions=20 work?
