Some of the units we're considering have one of the following NIC chipsets: VIA 6103 VIA 6303 VIA 6306 Realtek 8201 Looking through the hardware compatibility notes, as well as the man pages for vr(4), ed(4), and rl(4) doesn't seem to confirm or deny whether any of these units will work with FreeBSD (although it'd be a little overwhelming to list every card that isn't supported in the docs ;) Anyway ... can anyone confirm whether or not any of these NICs are supported in the 4.X line? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
