The difference is, I'm using a 3Com 3C996B-T. Question for you: When the card announces that it is active, do you get a kernel message along the lines of em0 Gigabit interface active? That's what mine does (obviously mine is a bge0 not an em0. :-) The one response I got on current@ indicated he had some Netgear cards running without a problem. I'm not sure where I'm going with this information except to think there may be something about gigabit cards that FBSD may not [completely?] account for. Cheers...
