I had problems with those cards a while back. I was able to force them to work somewhat on a 2.2-STABLE system by setting the media correctly, but I had no luck on 3.x. It should be noted though that the configuration they were in was INVALID. They were hooked into a 10/100 hub, but via CAT-3. It may be that the problem was simply that the cards are very sensative to cable quality. I replaced them with Intel cards and they worked a lot better. Those hosts are now running wired to 10Mbits though. -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
