I am using the 3Com 3cSOHO100-TX OfficeConnect with the xl driver. Someone suggested that it was an irq conflct, but I fixed that by changing the kernel settings and recompiling the kernel. It appears to have made no difference. I noticed that when the computer boots, the kernel reports the correct settings for the NIC, and it also eports an unknown card on the same IRQ. This is my IEEE 1394 card. Might this be causing conflicts even though its not enabled? Here's the output of dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2000 The FreeBSD Project.

Unfounately, I can't do this with the IEEE 1394 card because it's part of my motherboard. Does anyone have any suggestions?
