'pciconf -lv' should laso give the OP the necessary PCI id etc. Then it would smart of him to use that information in a search (web and mailing lists) with 'FreeBSD' to see if anyone have seen this and perhaps fixed it already. > But em cards (Intel Pro1000GT Desktop) cards are very cheap, and do > work.

Well, in my case, because RealTek in most cases are cheaper than anything else, and because of availability. Availability varies across the world you know. FWIW, I use several RealTek chips and cards (none Gigabit), have done so for years, and they work for me. YMMV. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
