I have one of these: Pro/1000 GT Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller (82546EB) It has worked perfectly, with one tertiary exception that happened due to a (non-FreeBSD related) driver change: for some reason, DHCP tries to send packets before the driver decides it's ready to accept them. This causes a 30-60 second delay during startup, but afterwards everything is fine. Robert Huff
