Hello,

I've just discovered that Intel provides some drivers for the Intel  
PRO/1000 Family on FreeBSD:

<http://downloadcenter.intel.com/detail_desc.aspx? 
ProductID=838&DwnldID=13742>

I was wondering: is there any point in running those drivers instead  
of the freebsd ones, performance wise of course.

thanks,
patpro
