How is your BIOS' "Pnp OS?" option set? If it's "Yes," I'd recommend trying "No." I had some trouble getting a pnp ISA modem to work and this was one of things that I had to do to get it to work. > I had one of these in my first FreeBSD box (it has used release > 2.2.1 through 3.x or 4.x....

Ummm... maybe -- but I'd check out the mailing-list archives, first. I have a Linksys LNE100TX PCI NIC that woulnd't work with my FBSD 3.2 system. I upgraded to 4.4 and now it works with a new driver that became available somewhere in 4.x... I'm sure most of the NIC's out there will work, but I'd still look around for potential trouble, first, just to be on the safe side, unless you thnk you'd have no trouble returning the card. -- "He gets through too late who goes too fast." -- Publius Syrus, 42 B.C.
