Hi

Does anyone know conclusively if the D-Link DGE-550SX gigabit fibre NIC
works with FreeBSD (specifically FreeBSD 5.2)?

My guess is that it should work with the nge(4) driver since, so far as I
can tell, its the same chipset as the DGE-500T.  It'd be nice to know this
for sure before I go out and buy one though.

I know I could go for other gigabit fibre NICs that are definitely known to
work, such as the Intel PRO 1000/XF, but the difference in cost between the
two makes finding this out worthwhile :)

Thanks,

- Guy
