What PCI bus ethernet cards does freeBSD support? That is my big >question. There is (at least) one listed - the DEC DC21040/DC21140 based cards. Depending on what you want to connect to (10b2, 10bT, 100bTX), there are cards available, although I couldn't quote part numbers apart from the SMC 9332 which is a 10bT/100bTX card. >Also, if I follow your "supported configurations", do you know of any >problems I will run into or any areas of concern I will have upon installing >and configuring freeBSD? If you give a list of what hardware you intend to run, we could give a more definate answer... Gary
