Re: Intel H55 and em0

The device subfamily on those motherboards is called PCH, and its only in
the em driver as of
last December, The CVS delta of if_em is 1.27. You can either update to
STABLE/8 or CURRENT.
If you wish to just pull the e1000 driver directory it should work fine in
8.0 RELEASE also.

Cheers,

Jack
