As others have mentioned the DEC Tulip driver doesn't get much specific FreeBSD attention as its an imported port. I had to yank a 20140 in favor of an NE2000 out of frustration and desparation. Now that system is running am not going to touch it. David Greenman personally mothers the fxp driver for the Intel board. And at $51.50 from http://www.asacomputers.com I don't hardly see how it can be beat. Put one in my home machine a few minutes ago to free an ISA slot and IRQ for a sound card. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
