Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The WaveLan card suddenly comes to mind... Are the ethernet drivers time dependent? If I take a ethernet card [ed(4)] and change the crystal for something slower, assuming I can still get the card to work correctly (albiet slower) will it still interact properly with the ed(4) driver, or do I need to look at tweaking the kernel? In other words, can the ed(4) driver work with ethernet cards running at speeds other than 10 MHz? I know there are drivers for the WaveLan card, but I'm looking at going even slower (256Kb!). -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
