Message-ID: <1996Aug20.183457.956@galileo.cc.rochester.edu> Sender: news@galileo.cc.rochester.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: troi.cc.rochester.edu Organization: University of Rochester - Rochester, New York Date: Tue, 20 Aug 96 18:34:57 GMT Lines: 37 Content-Length: 1187 Status: RO Hello FreeBSD folk! Has a driver been written yet for the Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 ethernet card? I'm a new and enthusiastic FreeBSD user (after listening to a talk given by Jordan Hubbard in Mountain View a few weeks back). My employer recently bought a nifty new Pro Pentium machine for running NT and I've been trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 in an unused partition in my spare time. Maybe I can eventually convince him to get rid of NT entirely. ;-) Unfortunately the hardware wasn't purchased with FreeBSD in mind, and the ethernet card (an Intel EtherExpress PRO/100) isn't being recognized by the FreeBSD kernel. A search of the mailing lists turned up hopeful news from earlier this year about a driver in the works for this card; however I haven't been able to locate one yet. Is this a lost cause for now? If so, should I keep my eyes open for a driver coming out sometime soon? Thanks very much for any help you can give - and thanks for FreeBSD! :-) - Hoss -- Hoss Firooznia | hfir@math.rochester.edu Department of Mathematics | Work Phone: (716) 275-4428 University of Rochester | http://www.math.rochester.edu/u/hfir/work.html -- Hoss Firooznia -- <hfir@troi.cc.rochester.edu>
