[ stories snipped ] Counter example: I recently put a new connector on a Cat-5 for the first time without pin info and messed it up. It worked fine on a NetGear FA310TX (100/10 PCI - Tulip-type), but not at all on a 3Com 3c900B-TPO Etherlink XL PCI. Had to fix my connector. Had the same old NE-2000 clone at the other end in both cases. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
