>Description:
The DM9009 chip from Davicom does not work on FreeBSD. I found this out after I bought a card for $5. It is one of the worst Ethernet chips out there, but it works and I wanted to use it. A few line changes and voila - a new driver.
>How-To-Repeat:
Using a Archtek Smartlink (or any other NIC that utilizes the Davicom DM9009 chipset), try setting your network up and using it . . .
