Looks great. Unfortunately FreeBSD 2.2.8 doesn't seem to recognize it. 1. There appears to be some kind of support in 2.2.8 for the D-Link DE-530 - anyone know if there is any difference between that and the DFE-530? 2. Assuming DE-530 = DFE-530 (as far as the driver goes) do I need to do a kernel rebuild to use it? What files do I need, and where do I get them? Best Buys (at least in Atlanta) has these NICs on sale for $30 each. Quite a buy if FreeBSD can use them. My machine is a fairly generic ASUS motherboard with AMD K6-2 300MHz CPU, 64MB RAM. Works great with a NE2000 compatible NIC (at 10Mbit). Thanks for any input. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
