I certainly saw no differences in performance in my tests here and it's my understanding that the NIC on the Pro/100+ (82558 chip) is simply an 82557 NIC + 82555 PHY...there are otherwise no other differences in the logic/design. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
