I run my genuine NE2100 at 0x360 IRQ 9, DRQ 3 and get similar messages stating that it just missed a packet because it didn't have a buffer for it. Recently I picked up an NE200 clone for another machine but haven't tried it. With 2.0R my console was flooded with these messages from the lnc0 driver. Ftp rates were 50k to 100k bytes/sec between dropped packets. One of the snaps practically cured the problem, and now with 2.0.5-ALPHA it only pops up ever 50k packets or so. Considering this is the closest thing I have to a "problem" with FreeBSD, I can certianly live with it. -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@iquest.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
