Upon closer inspection, we found out that the two NICs' chipsets differ in minor revision:- 1. The working NIC:- Broadcom BCM5704CKRB TS0341 P13 706741 B (manufactured 23/12/2004, older revision of the same BCM5704C chipset supported by the FreeBSD bge driver. ( Picture: http://absolute-p.ath.cx/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/old-23-12-2004.jpg ) 2. The intermittent NIC:- Broadcom BCM5704CKRB CS0424 P20 723153B B (unknown manufacture date, but probably newer than the working NIC). ( Picture: http://absolute-p.ath.cx/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/new.jpg ) I have yet to try a 6.2 kernel, the site has no internet connections and a bit far, so takes a while for me to try that. In the meantime, perhaps with the chipset details you have some ideas? Thanks. --mendonan "Yang mimpikan secangkir kopi panas dengan selimut.." (Dreaming of a cup of hot coffee, and a blanket..")
