[i'm assuming you're talking about the ie driver] i saw this problem with the ie driver, but only when rebooting to Win95 *from* FreeBSD. is that what you meant? i fixed this when i worked on the ie0 driver by re-initializing the card in a shutdown() routine. it worked for me, but unfortunately it caused panics for some people which i lacked time to work on / wasn't able to reproduce. so it didn't get into the tree. if you want to try it i can hunt for the code. if you really meant booting to freebsd from win95, ignore this msg. aaron
