} What USB Modems and Network Adapters have you found success with under
} FreeBSD?

I have been using a Linksys Eterfast 10/100 USB ethernet adapter for a 
couple of weeks on my laptop (4-STABLE from mid-August) with pretty good
success, but the speed is poor.  With a 16 bit PCMCIA card (Netgear FA410)
I could get 11Mbps or so peak, whereas I get about 1/3 that with the
USB adapter (just a shade over 4 Mbps) each on the same 100Mbps network.
I also get panics if I leave the adapter plugged in when I shutdown, but
I don't know whether that's fixed in a later update or not.
