Does this work in FBSD 4.1.1? (If so, any special rules on > its use, or does it just show as fxp0 and fxp1?) The dual port cards have worked since 2.X, I used them at Linkexchange all over the place. Basically it looks like fxp0 and fxp1 and thats it. The cards are pretty cool and I've never had a problem with em. I've got one of them in my 4.1.1 box at home and it works great. > Looking to dump my 3COM 905s. Am convinced they're junkable... I haven't seen any 3com hardware thats been to my liking for ages... They're not even the cheapest cards out there anymore, most intel OEM cards are cheaper, I think I paid $46 for my last Intel card, and a comprable 3com card was 10-15$ more! --- Tom bifrost@minions.com "Where am I and why am I in this handbasket?"
