:: Hah, me neither. In fact, if you want to try out a binary of my :: Intel GigE driver, it is at http://www.flugsvamp.com/~jlemon/fbsd/drivers :: Jonathan Wow, what I coincidence. I just did a search a couple days ago for any recent developments, and earlier today spent a bit of time with this very driver, with absolutely no idea this conversation had just taken place... A quick background -- some months ago I asked about a Gig ethernet driver when the wx driver didn't seem to work, and I had no e-mail address and was planning to be somewhere else. Well, I still have no e-mail address and I haven't escaped yet, but again, the reply address will reach the people who are in charge of the machinery, and I peek in on the lists now and then. Like now. If I may ask, this binary driver, which cards does it support and which cards does it *not* support? Or if releasing that info is restricted by the NDA, does your driver support the newer Intel Pro/1000 F cards, which had been mentioned here a couple months back (Livengood, if I remember, and which decidedly did not work with the driver by Matthew Jacob)? I did experiment with the driver and the card ealier today for an hour or so without complete success, like no network functionality at all, but I'm not going to rule out pilot error, though it seemed to exhibit similar lack of functionality to the wx driver. If it should work, I'll think about giving it another shot, but if it only works with the 1000 cards (not the F or T) then I won't try the impossible. Or consider this a possible problem report on the driver with the Pro 1000 F...
