Hi, >I just replaced an old 10BaseT/UTP NIC with a new (cheapo-RTL8139-sort) >100BaseT NIC. The reason I replaced this card had nothing to do with Had you read the documentation, you would have find that realtek card can work but are not recommended. A colleague of mine once read rl driver (one rl driver, it could have changed, it was many years ago) and one of the first comment in the C code was that the driver had been put there to answer a need, but it was dirty, ugly and bad and one should not use suck card. Talking about network cards, at that same period we bought a couple of 3com 980 that we never installed, they had problem (driver, firmware?) and could never reach the speed a 905 did. Has it been solved? Best regards, Olivier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
