New ethernet card we order arrived yesterday, its RB44GV from mikrotik. I just curious to see if its work with my FreeBSD box 🙂

Another question from my friend. Is it real gigabit card?

Hmmm, I dunno but after few moment :

edp# cd /sys/i386/conf/
edp# ls
.cvsignore GENERIC MAC NOTES XBOX
DEFAULTS GENERIC.hints Makefile PAE

edp# cat GENERIC | grep vge
device vge # VIA VT612x gigabit Ethernet
edp#

Yes, its gigabit ethernet card 😉
