1) dmesg | less shows that DF thinks I don't have an ATA-66 cable or

is an ATA-100 device.


Does FreeBSD 5 use ATA-66+ for this drive?
I don't know. I'll burn a FreeBSD 5 ISO and find out though.

2) I'm guessing there isn't any support for the integrated Realtek 8169 
Gigabit Ethernet Adapter I have. I have a 3com and Kingston network card 
laying around though that I can stick in, and I'm willing to take a stab 
at helping whomever get the integrated ethernet controller worker. I 
don't think I could write one myself, but I might be able to modify an 
existing driver to get it to work with the right advice.


I'll sync the driver with FreeBSD, that should help.
Thanks.
