This is a production machine. I can't take time to do this the "right" way. I need to powerdown, switch my smc single port (de) with the multi-port and get back up within 2 minutes or less. Therefore, if there is an older card, know to run with the de driver in FBSD2.2.1 would be better this time. Apparently the ZX314 is the one according to Ulf. --jeff > > The first one we got had the odd property of slow receives (or was it > transmits? one of the two) on _one_ of the ports.
