I'll put that on the list for the next time I need to reboot it. I'm sure I have a 6.1 CD somewhere, and probably a 4.x CD also. (The box is old enough -- a Dell Precision 420 -- that it quite likely will run 4.x.) I've also got another old Dell with an xl on the mainboard -- an OptiPlex GX1 running 6.1 -- which will need to get moved to a 100Mb port one of these days. That will provide another data point. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Out of pure interest, I'd love to see whether xl on an earlier kernel (say 4.x, if the hardware can even run it) or even 6.x would work.

For the archives, this particular xl (on a Dell mainboard) is not compatible with a Netgear DS-106 "dual-speed hub" at 100MB, at least using the driver that shipped with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. (I haven't tried other xl's, or other FreeBSD versions.) It does work with a Netgear FE-104 100-only hub. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
