Doesn't look promising. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2004-October/005309.html From some Googling, looks like your best bet would be a Broadcom 5751GB. I believe that's the same chipset as the onboard NIC on the SC420, though I didn't check the specs on Dell's site to verify. It's a little more pricey, but if your onboard is working, it should as well. -Chris |
