Accoring to .INF file of Windows driver from vendor the hardware supports Tx/Rx checksum offload, jumbo frame as well as WOL. Linux have a driver for these controllers but the code has lots of magic registers and hardcoded magic parameters so it's very hard to understand what the magic value really means. So I guess Linux also lacks documentation for the hardware and they may have spent hardtime to make it work. Maybe the last resort in FreeBSD would be ndis(4). I don't have SiS190/SiS191 hardware so I don't know whether ndis(4) works or not but you can get help from weongyo@ for ndis(4) issues. > -- > John Baldwin -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
