Intel PRO/1000 is a whole family of gigabit cards. The name for the particular card in question here is the Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter. If I have read the CVS logs correctly, support for this particular card was added to RELENG_4 somtime between 4.10-RELEASE and 4.11-RELEASE (Oct 2004 to be more exact), so it should be supported in 4.11-RELEASE as well as in 4.11-STABLE (but not in 4.10-RELEASE or older.) > > See also http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET Unfortunately that document does not make it clear exactly which cards are supported. > > >Earlier, I recieved a link to the FreeBSD site for 'older' versions, but I > >only saw 4.11-RELEASE there. > > 4.11-RELEASE is the latest release of the 4-STABLE branch.

Considering it has been almost 18 months since 4.11 was released, this is not surprising. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
