We already use Intel's NIC's and are planning to switch to Dual Intel® 82541 Gigabit Ethernet. Its not listed in the the hardware notes but we use the 82555 on FBSD4.8 (fxp) driver and it works fine (and it is not listed either). Is anyone working with it or have tried it (the 82541)? What is the status? any plans for a driver that would support those? Also, will the fxp driver work (enabling functionality at 100Mbps only) but a patch/another_driver is required to get the gigabit? Regards, Karim.
