I just googled a bit (because we might get G5 machines in
the future, too). HP's NC373i module contains the Broadcom
5708 chips, which are currently _not_ supported by FreeBSD
right now.
man 4 bce
..
BCE(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces
Manual BCE(4)
NAME
bce -- Broadcom NetXtreme II (BCM5706/BCM5708) PCI/PCIe
Gigabit Ethernet
adapter driver
From the bce source :-
/* BCM5708C controllers and OEM boards. */
{ BRCM_VENDORID, BRCM_DEVICEID_BCM5708, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID,
"Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T" },
Good news, so it looks like it will be fine for me to go ahead and
make this purchase.
Regards
Ben
