The intel driver seems to cover all the bases and has some nice glue routines for determining the part and features available. I havent tested it under load, but I wonder if intel would consider supporting it if someone ported it over to freebsd? they have drivers for just about every other major OS except BSD. it would be nice if the driver was updated BEFORE cards and MBs that dont work started showing up on the loading dock. Every time I get a shipment we have to hold our breath until we try one out. Dennis >-- >... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his >rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
