 Hi, 
   I recently got my hands on an EPoX AMD 64
 motherboard which has an integrated ethernet card. The
 chipset of the card is RTL8201BL PHY. I have read
 through the release notes for freebsd 6.0 and found
 nothing on this chipset. I was wondering whether it
 would be possible to still make use of the card
 through NDIS wrappers.

A quick look at the specs makes me think that the RTL8201BL is *only*
a PHY.  Assuming I'm right, whether the board would be supported would
depend on the MAC.

But since you've already got it, the easy thing to do is try it and
see if it's recongized.
