All work fine. But on board ones are only 100 so I dont use them. However I notice that the on board nic in your case uses a different chipset: chip=0x816810ec is onboard. chip=0x816710ec is slot pci's. I dont know what this means in respect to operation problems though. -- ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
