Seems like there is a problem with the drivers for this particular device. http://www.archivesat.com/New_Zealand_FreeBSD_Users_group/thread440374.htm The poster here seems to have had a similar ethernet card as I do. May be I should try swapping the ethernet cards of the FC2 and FreeBSD boxes. I am sure the FC2 box has a different network card. Cheers, Andy
