[It's branded a 3com, but uses the sk98 module in Linux]. The install correctly detects it [using sk0 I believe], but it does not function during the install. If I try to use DHCP, it never sends the request out [the dhcp server sees no request]. If I try to set the ip manually, it accepts the address but still doesn't work. I then installed from the cd without using the network. Once it was installed and booted, dhcp worked, and I was able to use the nic just fine. I had this same problem with an earlier version of Freebsd 5.something. I'm not sure why it would work after it is set up ,but not during the install even though the nic is detected. Just thought I'd put that out there in case someone else is thinking of using this motherboard. Doubletwist aka. Jim
