Yes, the SMC card uses a DEC 21140 chip and is supported in 2.1R, -stable, and -current. ...and yes, that's what I'm using in wcarchive. You can use the link2 ifconfig option to switch between 100Mbit and 10Mbit. It is supposed to auto-sense, but a couple of people have reported that this is broken - I recall seeing a NetBSD commit that apparantly fixes this, but haven't had a chance to investigate. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
