I echo that ! I've used 3coms through the many generations on various os's.. They even sucked hard under DOS(3c509) and even worse under Novell .. One might have thought they could get there sh*t together over time .. But alas .. not.
Broadcoms and Intels are generally the best in my experience a lot of the old drivers work on current generations of cards .. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Marquette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 4:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] WAN DHCP not working ?

Somehow, the fact that this was a 3com card that had issues doesn't surprise me. :-/ 3Com cards have a very bad reputation in the bsd world - while quite popular, they seem to suck pretty bad and the many changes in the card make driver support not so good. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
