My problem: I have an old ASUS P2B-DS motherboard based server, and want to use a Realtek 8169 Gigabit LAN Card with it. But the BIOS does not detect the LAN card, I don't know why. If I put the card in another computer, it is detected perfectly. Unless this is a hardware incompatibility problem, I would expect FreeBSD to do a better job than the old BIOS. I would rather have an Intel card, but they not available around. :-( Jonny -- João Carlos Mendes Luís - Networking Engineer - jonny@jonny.eng.br
