There doesn't exist _good_ driver in 2.1.5r, 2.1.6r for 3c590/595, but there is _good_ and even working driver in -current tree/2.2-ALPHA tree. As for SMC, we _use_ SMC DEC 2104x based cards on 2.1.0r, 2.1.5r, 2.2-ALPHA for a year already, i.e. - they work. Plugged on various kinds of motherboads. What I wonder is what cards are plugged, say, in ftp.freebsd.org and if 2114x based chips work? What other PCI 100Mb cards would you, guys, recommend? > The current driver for the 3c590 also has 5c900 support. Try the one > in current.
