If I have read the CVS logs correctly, support for this particular card was added to RELENG_4 somtime between 4.10-RELEASE and 4.11-RELEASE (Oct 2004 to be more exact), so it should be supported in 4.11-RELEASE as well as in 4.11-STABLE (but not in 4.10-RELEASE or older.) >=20 > See also http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET Unfortunately that document does not make it clear exactly which cards are supported. >=20 > >Earlier, I recieved a link to the FreeBSD site for 'older' versions, but= I > >only saw 4.11-RELEASE there. >=20 > 4.11-RELEASE is the latest release of the 4-STABLE branch.

There has actually been quite a few changes (mostly fairly minor) in 4-STAB= LE since 4.11 was released. Considering it has been almost 18 months since 4.11 was released, this is not surprising. --=20 Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
