Support for Bigfoot Killer E2100?
A number of motherboards (e.g., GigaByte Guerrilla and Sniper) are sporting a BIGFOOT Killer E2100 chip, which is also the board's Ethernet. Does FreeBSD support this chipset? Anyone tried it? http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/assets/Company/Media-Center/Datasheets/Final-Killer-E2100-Datasheet.pdf ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Don't buy anything that incorporates BIGFOOT products. http://feld.me/stuff/scammernic.png ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Don't buy anything that incorporates BIGFOOT products. It might prove beneficial if you actually took the time to state exactly why you consider it a scam. I found numerous articles describing this device. One such site: http://www.examiner.com/pc-game-in-national/bigfoot-killer-2100-review-review In any case, the OP can check out this URL for more precise information: http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/killer-2100/ I think it is rather clear that this is not in all probability going to work on a non-windows OS. Nothing surprising there. As Willie Sutton so prominently stated, Go where the money is... and go there often. I wouldn't want to hold my breath waiting for a driver either. In any case, its your money. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+f...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored. Do not CC this poster.

(Any of the major suppliers would have called it a Product Brief or some such.) Vastly more technical detail would be needed to even contemplate writing a driver. The only drivers I found on their site are for Windows. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
