I've got one 3C509 combo NIC in my home box, and it has been running now for 5 (which could turn into much more if was able to remember exactly when i installed it :)) under various releases of FreeBSD without experiencing any problem whatsoever. The board does not get a "real" load, as it is mostly used to connect some other computers to the internet on my home network. I'd like you to tell me why i should expect to get a bullet in the head if we ever meet :-) Which will make you the most unfriendly guy (and for me, the last) around :-) Thanks ...
