I made a mistake, the 1.0/2.0 version card is only the FDDI one, the
ethernet version is just the 1.0 (be0) the 2.0 is hme0 and works fine.

While on the topic, I notice that the 1.0 (be) ethernet card BigMac and
the 1.0/2.0 FDDI card (bf) both start with a b in the device name, is
there any relationship between the 2 of them? (same chipset?)

I have a be0 card in my SS670 running 2.5.1 fine, and was going to
replace it with my bf0 card (I'm trying to get as many of my machines as
possible switched over to FDDI), but since finding out that the bf0 card
seems to work fine with Sol8, the question is am I better off replacing
the bf card with a 3.0/4.0 nf card in the LX (Sol8) and put the bf card
into the 670, or just leave it where it is, and put the 2.0/4.0 card
into the 670?
