After upgrading to 5.3-BETA7 from 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8, I found out that I need debug.mpsafenet=0 with this ethernet card as well to get reliable network connections again: skc0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940) sk0: on skc0 sk0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:6e:ea:f1:ba miibus0: on sk0 e1000phy0: on miibus0 e1000phy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX-FDX, auto Without debug.mpsafenet=0, web pages become broken, SSH connections get terminated because of unexpected bytes in the TCP-stream, etc. Arjan -- Arjan de Vet, Eindhoven, The Netherlands URL : http://www.devet.org/ Work: http://www.madison-gurkha.com/ (Security, Open Source, Education)
