The 'gx' driver was committed so that Jonathan's code would be on record, since he'd spent so much time and effort on it. Testing so far has indicated that the Intel driver is generally superior, but it's not a very BSD-like driver and under some circumstances this can be considered a bad thing. The Intel driver will be the preferred driver for these cards. = Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
