I provided many facts, and since no one provided any opposition to my "facts", why do you categorically reject them? I can't come to any conclusion other than you don't understand the subject matter. Because if you did you wouldn't think I wasted anyone's time. The start of this thread: "I want to buy a NIC and I want it to be compatible with FreeBSD. Is RealTek 8139 compatible with FreeBsd ?" The answer: "Yes, it will work. The rl0 driver works fine. Be advised it's not the "greatest" NIC and you may drop packets under heavy load. I've never experienced packet loss, but I've read about it and others on the list have hinted at it before." Well lets see. If a driver drops packets, it doesn't "work fine", now does it? Not only is the "not the greatest NIC", its probably the worst, evidenced by the author's own comments. So I don't see what "facts" you are looking for. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
