It just calls it VIA PCI 10/100 Mb Fast > Ethernet Adapter. I recently put together a bare bones kit that uses the Soyo SY-K7VEMPRO motherboard which also uses a lot of VIA on-board stuff and I was able to get all of it working. Video, sound, and the on-board ethernet. This one told me that it uses Realtek drivers in the quick start guide. You could start there if you can't find any other info. Did FreeBSD find the on-board NIC when you installed it? If it did then it's just a matter of going thorough dmesg and choosing the needed driver. Good luck. -- Lute ************************ * Power Provided * * by * * FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE * ************************
