Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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?
