Hi YongHyeon PYUN, Oke, that would mean I temporarily have to insert another ether card to get things onboard. Or use the sneaker network. :) I did check the 9.x stuff, but there the revision number was not in /usr/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h .... And you are right, they are in 8.2-STABLE. Thanx for the files and pointers --WjW
