    Hi,

    I am in the final stages of porting the NVidia Linux nForce MCP network
    driver to FreeBSD-5.1 and am after some experienced users/developers
    with access to this hardware to do some testing to find out what breaks,
    and what doesn't work. My driver makes use of the Linux nvnetlib.o API
    library, and should therefore be compliant with the NVidia Linux
    distribution license.

    The driver currently appears to be stable on my hardware (an MSI K7N420 Pro),
    although I haven't done much stress testing, nor do I have access to an
    nForce2 based motherboard to test.

    This is still very much a work in progress, but it has been stable
    enough for me to actually use productively so I thought I would share
    the wealth, so to speak, with the rest of the community.

    If you are interested in testing this, email me offline. I am also
    interested in how many people would like to see a FreeBSD-4.x version.

    PS: I am still waiting for NVidia to reply to any of my emails. :(
