ATM as you said there is no FreeBSD driver for the controller but I think Kevin Lo(kelvo_at_) is working on age(4) to support the ethernet controller. I'm not sure whether age(4) also supports Attansic F1 ethernet controller. I also heard ndis(4) works OK for the ethernet. Long time ago when I asked for datasheet for the controller the vendor simply rejected it so I gave up. AFAIK the vendor released Linux driver under GPL so it's doable to write a driver but it would be time-consuming and tedious work. :-( [...] > > Should be the same for 7-(any) AFAIK. > > The nVidia and the RTL8139 are on PCI-e and PCI of course. > > Manual & BIOS report the onboard GigE is an Attansic - not currently > supported AFAIK. > > Nor do I care.
