Just received two SMC cards to find out that the trusty 21140 chipset they used on their 100 mbit/sec models is replaced by a SMC 83C170 chipset. Included on the box is a nice and friendly label warning that these cards are INCOMPATIBLE with previous generations of the 100 mbit series. They are right, I tested one in a FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine and while it is recognized as a network device on the PCI bus FreeBSD won't install a driver. Should I be looking for the older model with a 21140 chipset or is there work in progress to support this new model? If so where can I find these drivers to test them? Thanks, Paul Jongsma WEBtic Internet Consultancy ________________________________________________________________________ WEBtic Internet Consultancy http://www.web-tic.com/
