You can always look at the current version of the manual for the corresponding driver, in this case, the "em" driver: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?em(4) Or on a FreeBSD system: "man 4 em". ;-) It seems that the list is identical. > The reason for my question is that we are using a 3rd party > software product that is using FreeBSD as its initial boot OS. > Unfortunately, the vendor can't answer my question regarding > compatibility. > > Intel PRO/1000 MT Network Connection > Intel PRO/1000 MT Network Connection E1G60 Yes, those are not on the list. However, this doesn't automatically imply that they don't work. If you have the option of "trial & error", test the cards. If they are recognized, the "em" driver gets loaded, and they should just work(TM). If not, return the cards. (Yes, I know, this isn't always possible, but if it is possible for you, give it a try.) I say this because several "PRO/1000 MT" models are listed, so it could be possible that except the naming is a little bit different, you're refering to one of them? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
