I would > prefer to buy a PCI-card, can anybody recommend one? Being in the business of building systems lends me a special interest to these types of questions. I recommend the Compex PCI ENET/32 card. This is a PCI bus master so it saves your CPU the work load of bcopying bytes to and from memory. I have yet to see a PCI motherboard that has a problem running this card (I can not say this about other PCI Ethernet cards I have tried). It has all 3 media connectors, so you can use it at any site without doing things like AUI to TP adapters. The other card I do is the SMC 9332 EtherPower 10/100MB card, this card does both 10BaseT at 10MB/sec and 100BaseTX on Cat 5 cable or STP cable with DB-9 connector. XX. TMG CPXPCI/32C Compex ENET32-PCI PCI 32bit ethernet combo $ 118.00 XX. TMG SMC9332 SMC 10/100MB DEC 21140 ethernet combo $ 212.00 Both cards are in stock here at qty 1, 100's are just a phone call and a day away :-) They both use the same if_de.c driver under FreeBSD. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
