Just received two SMC cards to find out that the trusty 21140 chipset
they used on their 100 mbit/sec models is replaced by a SMC 83C170
chipset.

Included on the box is a nice and friendly label warning that these
cards are INCOMPATIBLE with previous generations of the 100 mbit series.

They are right, I tested one in a FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine and while it 
is recognized as a network device on the PCI bus FreeBSD won't install
a driver.

Should I be looking for the older model with a 21140 chipset or is 
there work in progress to support this new model? If so where can I 
find these drivers to test them?

Thanks,
