Intel's product naming is quite confusing. The Pro/10+ refers to either the ISA or the PCI adapter, but these use entirely different chips and aren't software compatible at all with each other. The PCI Pro/10+ is supported in the 'fxp' driver, and the ISA Pro/10+ is support in the 'ex' driver. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
