From: David Greenman <davidg@Root.COM> Subject: Re: novell ne2000 cards with FreeBSD...opinions? It will require twice the CPU, and in some extreme cases, this might be enough to cause it to drop a packet. ...but normally it will work fine. Yeah, I just looked at the driver and saw the programmed IO cruft in there to deal with the novell cards. Bummer. Someone mentioned that some of the cards really do have shared memory and can run just like the SMC and 3COM. Do you know anything about this? Paul
