Hello,

I was wondering if there had been any talk of including fiber media =
support for the tx driver any time soon?  I have an SMC 9432FTX NIC and I =
can only use the 100Base-TX media on it.

I would really like to migrate my FreeBSD servers from UTP to fiber.

Can we expect to see any further fiber support in freebsd when 5.0 comes =
out?

Thanks!
