I use Kingston KNE-40BT (using the DEC 21041A/PB) and I have to admit, for an inexpensive card that's warrantied *forever*, its good hardware. After the few network problems I run into (and they are few and far between), there wasn't anything that could be firmly blamed on the de driver as the culprit. Is there any documentation on these supposed problems with the de driver? --Rick Pelletier Sys Admin, House Galiagante To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
