Please recommend a stable 100 Mbit/s UTP USB NIC to run on FreeBSD 7.

Tried Linksys USB10T as aue0, bad luck. Not sure whether it really is 100 Mbit/s.

I have the same problem to solve.

I found on based on davicom chip that is claimed by udav. I didn't buy yep though, but seemed pretty cheap in here.

if you have any info, please broadcast :)

aue0: address 00:60:6e:00:05:d2
ukphy1 at aue0 phy 1: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface, rev. 1: OUI 0x000749, model 0x0001

and is ok in OpenBSD and FreeBSD (7.1)

update: it is not ok, it detects ok but I can't ping nor get ip through dhclient :/

I saw some issues with this nic, but from 4.9 days and seemed to be eolved :(

I've tried 8-CURRENT, 7.1-PRERELEASE and OpenBSD 4.4 and no luck, if anyone can solve this, please ...

TIA
