Re: netgear nic
Hi! To clarify up a bit: Netgear manufactured the FA310, which had 4 revisions. the first two, IIRC, hat genuine digital chips on it, the last two revisions hat digital-clones on it, therefore the handling by the dc(4) driver. the Netgear Fa311 has a different chipset on it, that is driven by the sis(4) driver. BTW: the sis ist supported since 4.1.1-R HTH Olaf -- Olaf Hoyer[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fuerchterliche Erlebniss geben zu raten, ob der, welcher sie erlebt, nicht etwas Fuerchterliches ist.

Re: netgear nic
David Bear asked on Wednesday Dec 31, 2003: the NIC selection at the local store was terrible. I ended up buying a netgear FA311. I cannot tell what chipset this has.. It is the numbers VS318AG in it.. anyone used a netgear nic with fbsd 4.9? I've got 3 of these in one box and 1 in another. There were some problems when using 3 cards, probably IRQ related. But the single card has worked fine. They use the sis(4) driver, but you should see this when you boot from the install CD. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is the numbers VS318AG in it.. anyone used a netgear nic with fbsd 4.9? No, but I believe it should be supported by the sis(4) driver. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sisapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+4.9-RELEASEformat=html for more information. To use the sis(4) driver you also need to have the miibus(4) in your kernel. It's also worth noticing, for future reference, that you could have answered this question for yourself by a simple google search. Hope that helps and good luck!
