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 -- Systems Manager, IT Division, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa Email: G.Halse@ru.ac.za Web: http://mombe.org/ IRC: rm-rf@irc.zanet.net *** ANSI Standard Disclaimer *** J.A.P.H
