You have a (relatively) old version of FreeBSD (which is okay) but there have been at least four(4) versions of this card since it was introduced by Linksys, and you have what looks like a very new card. The downside is that the drivers are not compatible. I think the LNE100TX support (pn) you see on -your- version of FreeBSD is for the PNIC chip -only-. .cr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
