See Ken's post. You will basically have to buy them from stock from someone who has them on a shelf somewhere, or you will have to sign NDA and recreate the firmware work on another card. The Tigon III's are *significantly* cheaper, and don't have the firmware-download-each-time-the-IP-changes that the Tigon II driver has, so most people have switches to the Tigon III. I guess the next question is "Anyone know a gigabit NIC that is currently in production, which has hack-friendly firmware?"... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
