Any idea if that will do? That is a PRO/1000 MT card, which is a PCI-X adapter and is supported by the standard em(4) driver in FreeBSD 6.x, The PRO/1000 PT mentioned below is a PCI-Express adapter and is not supported by the standard driver in 6.x, but (as mentioned) should be supported by the driver available from Intel. Which card you want depends on what kind of expansion slot(s) you have available. > > On 30/06/06, Antony Mawer wrote: > >On 30/06/2006 3:53 PM, William wrote: > >> Thanks for the email Antony, I'm awaiting delivery of the server so I > >> might have to order an intel card sharpish.
