I have an opportunity to purchase an Intel Pro 1000T (PWLA8490T ) Server adapter for what seems like a fairly lucrative price. The Intel sight says it is a 10/100/1000 adapter with support for 32/64 and 33/66 buses and is supported by Linux and FreeBSD. However, when I check on it I find that it is supported by OpenBSD, the FreeBSD site says the wx4 driver has been depracated but I can find nothing for Debian. Can anyone shed some additional light on this card and its support under FreeBSD or Debian? I'm re-building an old P3/600 into a file server and would love to have a nic of this caliber, if it's supported.
