I really like not having to use twisty cables. I'm really surprised that no one has built this feature into 10/100 cards yet (at least as far as I know), and you can only get it if you are using a 1000 as a 10/100. 8-(. Gigabit cards are worth all the hassle factor just for that one feature, IMO. 8-). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
