Fiber NIC support in FreeBSD (specifically the SMC 9432)

2001-08-12 Thread D Brearley
Hello, I was wondering if there had been any talk of including fiber media support for the tx driver any time soon? I have an SMC 9432FTX NIC and I can only use the 100Base-TX media on it. I would really like to migrate my FreeBSD servers from UTP to fiber. Can we expect to see any further
