So they've never worked and there is no regression at all. This is always the problem with new hardware - someone needs to write the drivers and before doing that someone need to beg vendors for specs. Unless someone with time and hardwarespecs come up there is no chance. Use another NIC as temporary workaround. > Does anbody have more information on this? > > (I asked on .hardware a few weeks ago, but got no information). Probably because noone has informations? -network list would be an option to get in touch with network people. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
