If anyone could tell me where the page is at, or knows the > answer, I'd really appreciate it. I have the same board in a server running 4.11 (FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #0) and no problems to report. The nic is detected as "RealTek 8129/8139" but seems to function just fine. I would recommend building a temporary system, doing an install and then once you verify all is well... Swap the board into your existing machine. In regards to the hardware page, you can find it here: ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/4.11-REL EASE/HARDWARE.HTM Scott
