From: Andrew Atrens [mailto:atrens@nortelnetworks.com] > the second link quoted by Don Bowman shows an almost identical chip > (also characterized as being GigE) > > http://www.motherboards.org/articlesd/motherboard-reviews/1205_1.html Actually, the link I sent shows that Asus motherboards have one or the other broadcom... A 570x OR or a 4401 (its optional). The 4401 is a 10/100. Suspiciously, 4401 is also the device id you are seeing... A quick google search: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=asus+4401 shows that asus has used this 4401 in the past on other motherboards. I don't suppose you can physically look @ the board and see if you can find the BCM570X on it? It would likely be near the RJ45 @ the back. I have access to the 570x specs, and there is no mention of 4401 as a valid device id, so either the OEM (Asus) has set it wrong in the eeprom, or it really is a different chip. I also forwarded a patch for the bge that causes it to dump out the VPD and the MFG info. --don (don@sandvine.com www.sandvine.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
