The fxp driver is located in sys/pci/if_fxp.c, which is why I asked this question. The card in question is ISA, not PCI, and I didn't see anything is sys/i386/isa that referenced the Intel 82557 chipset. If, as I suspect, the driver for the PCI card is incapable of driving the ISA card, I'm interested in pointers for modifying another ISA network driver to support this card, like "if_ZZZ.c is an archetypical ISA network driver, start with it, but look at the if_fxp driver too". To me, that sounds more like a topic for freebsd-net, not -questions. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
