If the "server" adapter is the one with the 82556 NIC, then it is not supported and will not work with FreeBSD. Look for PCI "Pro/100B", "Pro/100 model B", or "Pro/100+" - all of those are supported. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
