Yes, 7.0-R is pretty old in terms of re(4) work. I believe yongari@ is still working on this driver. 7.1 is close enough for patching with patches from http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/ Currently development is stifled because he has to basically guess the appropriate magic values for various PHY permutations in these 8111C/8168C gigabit cards everyone seems to be putting in their motherboards these days. -- =========================================================== Peter C.
