Hello Remko,

I hope you are doing well.

So polling for these cards would work without using DEVICE_POLLING in
kernel conf?

You are saying it's deprecated, but I have 2 FreeBSD 7.0 servers with
DEVICE_POLLING in the kernel for both of them one has fxp and the
second has em.

I didn't read anything about DEVICE_POLLING deprecating in /usr/src/UPDATING.
