The Tulip design is owned by Intel. The new Netgear cards are not the FA310TX. I think they use the PNIC part, but my memory's never been the best. Ask Bill Paul if you really care. Alternatively, if the GENERIC kernel isn't probing the card, please tell us which chip is actually on it, so that we can fix things. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
