On a 10/100 hub it occasionally negotiates 10BaseT speeds, and if I force it to fast ethernet speeds it seems to wedge some of the ports on the hub. It also seems to not get broadcast traffic. Is it possible to use the new if_dc driver with FreeBSD 3.x, or have things progressed too far? Would it be likely to fix this? -castor castor@alumni.caltech.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
