None of them are running FreeBSD 12 yet as it has not been released. Also there are some with rl. Those are add-on boards so they could be changed, but would require extensive effort as the machines are about a 4 hour drive from here and would require reconfiguration (an error prone process when you are tired). > bge is gigabit (I believe it actually stands for Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet) and thus wont be covered, as its only the 10/100 devices being propsed for removal. I too have a lot of machines with bge onboard, though we only use them on 100 meg ether in the main. -pete.
