This card's chipset is the NatSemi gigE chipset, which is supported by the nge(4) driver. However, as nge(4) cards are relatively uncommon, support is not enabled by default in the GENERIC kernel. You can load the if_nge module, however. kldload if_nge In fact, the only gigE chipset common enough to make it into GENERIC is the Broadcom, supported by bge(4). Regards, -- wca
