Is this to imply that FreeBSD has problems with 3Com 3C905 (10/100 Base-TX) cards as well? I was under the impression that FreeBSD and Linux were the only two OSes outside of Microsoft to have semi-decent drivers for these cards, primarily because of the user community self-support. I do have one Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ that I could stuff into the machine I'm building, but I kind of wanted to hang onto it for more critical functions, and for the less critical machines perhaps get by with just a 3Com 3C905.... -- Brad Knowles Your mouse has moved.
