I got a few responses regarding this post, but I'm really looking for some positive, "yes, I'm using it" or "I tried and failed": Having a little trouble ensuring hardware compatibility. Some of the units we're considering have one of the following NIC chipsets: VIA 6103 VIA 6303 VIA 6306 Realtek 8201 Looking through the hardware compatibility notes, as well as the man pages for vr(4), ed(4), and rl(4) doesn't seem to confirm or deny whether any of these units will work with FreeBSD (although it'd be a little overwhelming to list every card that isn't supported in the docs ;) I don't know how different a 6103 is from (for example) a 6105 (which is mentioned as supported in the man page for vr) so I don't know what the chances are that it will be supported. Has anyone used any of these chipsets, or can anyone say with confidence that these chipsets are very familiar with supported chipsets? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
