Packet Engines, Inc. G-NIC II 1000BT Network Interface Card
Hi, I want to get this device working with -stable: none1@pci2:2:0: class=0x020000 card=0x13180001 chip=0x09111318 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Packet Engines, Inc.' device = 'G-NIC II 1000BT Network Interface Card' class = network subclass = ethernet this page http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/Projects/Gigabit/drivers/PacketEngines.html lists a 2.2.2 driver. However I noticed http://www.freebsd.org/donations/donors.html includes a donation of this card to will@freebsd.org. Is there a current driver? I can't find one in /usr/src/sys. Does anyone have this card working with -current or -stable? Any help is much appreciated. -- othermark atkin901 at nospam dot yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);

Packet Engines was completely uncooperative with the open source community. I couldn't get docs on the chip even after my employer bought them. Now you can buy cards with better performance for 1/10 the price. Throw it away and get an EEPro/1000, roughly $45 these days. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
