At Wed, 11 Oct 2000 it looks like Greg Lehey composed:


GL-->Unlike Linux, each BSD Ethernet driver has its own name.  You don't
GL-->need to look for it; the drivers probe the hardware in turn, and each
GL-->finds its own.  In case of doubt, check dmesg, but in general ifconfig
GL-->-a will show you what the system found.

Thanks for the pointers, I have pulled the dmesg and ifconfig from
the current OpenBSD-2.7 with the same card that uses the 'tulip'
driver for linux. It actually seems to work faster on OpenBSD that
is does with Linux.

From following the threads here today I may have to reinstall the
drive and see how this "full vs half" duplex topic reflects on the
FreeBSD install I didn't copy the ifconfig from the 'trickle'
install.

I have some other cards I can try since you say they autodetect the
card every boot. I hope I understood that to be correct, that is
cool if it's true. :)
