People who know this kind of hardware will read it at once. Anyway: With your FreeBSD-Release came files called HARDWARE.txt and HARDWARE.htm where all supported hardware is listed. USB-stuff still seems to be quite experimental. If it doesn't work you should puchase some PCI-NIC. They are cheap and reliable. Regards Uli. ************************************ * P. U.
