I've looked at the source to msk(4), and it matches what's in the manpage, so it's not a documentation mistake. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=msk&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-stable&format=html Support for the 88E8040 can be added to the msk(4) driver, probably via a PCI ID addition to the msk_products[] struct in src/sys/dev/msk/if_msk.c, but sometimes more is needed. I've CC'd the maintainer of msk(4), PYUN Yong-Hyeon, who can work with you and provide patches to get support for that NIC. (Please note that when referring to him, his first name is Yong-Hyeon, not Pyun.) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
