The data sheets of these NICs claim to support "Linux 2.2.5 or Later" and use all the same Linux Driver [e100-1.2.1.tar.gz; e100.[hc]]. So what is about the FreeBSD fxp driver? Any hints, experiences? I am especially interested in using "Intel PRO/100+ Dual Port Server Adaptor" for a FreeBSD router/firewall configuration.
