I get excellent performance with the card myself - I'm using them in all of the machines I have here. > I'd think that -current has the same driver or perhaps a newer > revision of the same. Right, it's the same driver. The only known problem is that I don't have a work-around for a bug in the chip that causes it to lock up if it receives garbage (can happen when you unplug the cable from the card). There's no way to detect the hang except to notice that nothing is being received for awhile. Newer revs of the chip don't have this problem. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
