I have a FBSD box which has been running very well on FBSD 2.2.6
I'm now trying to install a first SCSI card to it so that I can
attach a tape drive but whenever the SCSI card is present, all
networking either : (1) dies or (2) slows down to 10000+ ms pings.
I've attached the dmesg output in the hope that someone can spot
what might be the problem. (I know the 3Com 3509 is a bit
dodgy with FBSD - eg. I need a script to ping out from the box after
any restart otherwise the machine remains invisible to the network !
After this ping, everything works fine... that's been the case with
all my 3com NICs !). However, adding the SCSI just kills the NIC
totally - no matter of pinging out gets it out of sloth/zombie mode.
Thanking you in advance,
chas
