> Anyone doing (modem at home)/(ethernet at work) communications on a > FreeBSD notebook? If so, what Ethernet card are you using? Lots of people swear by the 3com 3c589. I generally swear *at* them, partly because they're hideously expensive, and partly because they cause about 90% of our support grief. Personally, I would recommend going with an NE2000-compatible card from someone like Danpex or Accton. Don't buy an SVEC card, as they appear to be extremely non-NE2000 compatible (lock-your-machine-solid non-compatible, in fact). There are other, similar cards that people have had good results with. Expect to pay maybe $70-100 for one of these. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
