I just upload FreeBSD driver to the Marconi Source Community
as FreeBSD-HE.tgz_20010515200853 at
http://secure.marconi.com/protected/SOURCE_PART/community.cgi

The driver has been tested at AAl level a year ago.
CLIP is in, but ILMI has not been tested. Its ILMId is built
into SNMP code with large and not readable format.

Since GigE, specially the copper GigE out there, I do not think
ATM will survive. So, give up. If someone wants to continue,
dowload it and finish ilmid. Without ilmid, you may manually
configure each VC.

It does not require 64-bit slot to run. It works fine on these
32-bit motherboard.
