I continue to hope that set >is not null. Unfortunately, it is null. I tried to get programming information for the SMC card over a year ago and was unable to without an NDA. All of my machines here are now ISA/PCI so I've lost interest in this, too. The EISA ethernet cards have typically cost in the $500-$600 range, and since PCI ethernet cards have been available cheap and programming information easy to get, it doesn't make sense to write a driver for one. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
