It does work well in FreeBSD 4.10-stable. Do realize that you won't be able to realize true 100MB performance from one of these 16bit cards. While we're on the subject though, I can't get anything to work in 5.2.1. I continually get these watchdog timeout errors, be it a Cardbus card, or a 16bit card like the Linksys. I'm planning on tossing -current on it this weekend to see if the problem has already been solved there. If anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate them.
