Netgear changed chips between these two revs. The Rev C series used a real Dec21x4x chip, and needs the DEC/tulip driver. The Rev D series switched to the PNIC tulip-clone chip, and needs a driver that works with the PNIC chip. Actually, "clone" isn't right, "compatible" is better, as evidenced by needing a driver update to work. It was a "clone" with a few too many DNA-copy-errors. -- Clark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
