Older models, up to the first RPi3 still have a 100Mb/s NIC. I just happen to have an RPi3 and I'd really love to convert it to FreeBSD once 12.x is stable enough. BTW, I also use fxp interfaces a lot, but that's just because I have several of them around: no use spending a few Euros for faster cards if they are going to be used for ADSL lines. Then I have an old "hot-spare" computer that has an onboard FastEthernet NIC... I'll have to check which one it is and if support for it is being dropped. Or... I could insert another spare fxp there too :) Seriously, I'd be disappointed if the yet-to-come-to-stable support for my Raspberry was deprivated of its NIC driver. Other than that, on the amd64 side, I'll live with this (if I have to). bye av.
