I'm connected to one of my machines with one of those cards right now: % dmesg | grep ex0 ex0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa ex0: Intel EtherExpress Pro/10, address 00:aa:00:6f:d7:28, connector TPE % uname -mrs FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE i386 It works fine for me on 2.2.8. > i am now using the fxp0 device on a pci bus and it works great. I've got two of those on another machine I'm logged into: % dmesg | grep fxp fxp0 <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 5 int a irq 5 on pci0:17:0 fxp0: Ethernet address 00:90:27:13:ae:7e fxp1 <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 1 int a irq 9 on pci0:19:0 fxp1: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:22:93:d0, 10Mbps One is 10Mb/s (a 82557-based card), and one is 100Mb/s (a 82558-based card). They both work fine... Now. I was posting questions about them earlier this week. I practically had to use a mallot to drive them into the slots. Their status lights came up (at their end and at the other end of the CAT5 wire), but they were not properly installed in the machine. Once I warped the motherboard forcing them in, all worked wonderfully. -- Crist J.
