I found some ancillary information that seems to indicate that there is a driver that will allow a D-Link DGE-550SX Gigabit fiber NIC to work under FreeBSD 4.x. Can anyone confirm or refute this, or provide additional information? If the NIC is not supported, is there a recommendation for a gigabit fiber NIC that works well under 4.8? Thanks, Steve

...sed via samba). It has a largish filesystem (~200G) on a Powervault 220 attached via a PERC3/DC controller (amr) that most of the data is stored on. The OS is on a pair of internal 18G drives attached to the internal PERC3/Di controller (aac). It is attached to the network with a Netgear GA620 fibre NIC (ti). The panic is being triggered by the "find" run in /etc/periodic/daily/100.clean-disks. Disabling this script has, for the moment, circumvented the problem - although from what I can gather it is a kernel bug. The machine is scheduled to be updated to 4.8 in two we...

...are so good that Intel has OEM'd them and cross-licensed patents with ServerWorks (e.g., ServerWorks will have a DDR SDRAM chipset for the Pentium IV later this year, whereas ViA will not and is stuck at the Pentium III). Gigabit Ethernet is also getting very affordable, with the $300 NetGear GA620 NIC and a 802.1q multi-frame VLAN compatible Linksys 24-port, 10/100 "Gigaswitch" (with two MII Gigabit upgrade ports) runs ~$700 with ~$250 for a 1000Base-SX duplex upgrade port. We can talk more off-list (since this is getting mighty off-topic). I have been meaning to update my web si...
