See: > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ed/if_ed.c I see no mention of Netgear here. What to look for to see the `fix'.

Which cards are known to be the least trouble prone? Apparently it does no good to look up which cards are supported, since the Netgear 410 is listed in 4.0 release notes and the PAO homepage as supported. Sounds like it might be easier to get a known trouble free card right off, but how can one find which fit that category if the `supported' lists are not accurate? I need a card that needs no special care since I want to install with it. > http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=70081+0+current/freebsd-mobile The netgear 410 discussion looks to be about finding MAC addressing, not clear if this would also apply to pcs.
