There are some PC Card variants that have 100M MII connections, but they are limited to about 12Mbps due to bus limits. Even the PCI ones didn't have 100M mii connections. > > There was RTL8029AS "NE2000-compatible" 100M 32 bit PCI 2.1 adapter. > Not sure if ed(4) supports RTL8029AS. That is what I was hunting for, but I can not seem to locate a data sheet on that. I also thought there was a 100mb version of the DP83905, but can not seem to locate any data thier either. Given this lack of findable data I shall continue to support the ed removal, unless Julian comes up with the needed criteria, and with holding my own fact that I do have a pile of these around, but they are not in use and are only retained for testing and resurection of ancient things. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
