BTW, it looks like this driver is part of freebsd 7, so it will get fully supported some time in the future. It would just be nice sooner rather than later... :-)

Hello, I have had a bad experience with that chipset myself. The board doest perform very well even with the driver working correctly ( I had to modify the driver to include the MCP51 ethernet device and recompile). If you have something else, preferably intel, I would suggest using that instead. Thats my 2 cents. -Joel On Nov 10, 2007, at 2:04 PM, Mike Myers wrote: > Hi.
