I (personally) think also it never will be supported since a) it is rather expensive (at least here in germany it's 200 US$) b) the ISA bus probably won't handle 100MBit speeds (maybe yes) c) I think there aren't many ISA machines connected to a 100 MB net > shows support for the PCI version of the card in the default boot-up > before you install .. and it shows no support in LINT file or the > online-handbook. just refers to the PCI version of the card. for anyone > who does irc .. i support in at #freebsd on efnet and dalnet .. and got no > where there either. > > drop the card and get a different 100mb ethernet card .. if so .. > recommendations? Yes, get the Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet for PCI; in germany it's about 60 US$. I am rather curious how you got the 100MB ISA version, it's very difficult to get. -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
