I'm using FreeBSD4.2-STABLE.=20 From what I've read, I've dug up the following info. GENERIC has an entry for a wx - Intel Gigabit Ethernet Card = (``Wiseman'').=20 'man wx' says it's for "the original WISEMAN and the newer LIVENGOOD = chipsets" /usr/src/sys/pci/if_wx.c says it's the "Intel Gigabit Ethernet (82452) = Driver" http://www.intel.com/network/products/pro1000giga.htm talks about an = 82543GC Gigabit Controller. There are 2 NICs, a Pro/1000T and a = Pro/1000FS. Intel don't seem to make any mention of Wiseman or Livengood chipsets. My questions are:=20 1. Is the 82543GC Gigabit Controller from Intel supported? and=20 2. Do both the fibre optic and UTP versions work?
