For the worst, it takes 30 or 40 minutes. At that time, BIOS version was 0107. dmesg says, Nov 7 14:08:12 nwgpc /kernel: changing root device to sd0a Nov 7 14:08:12 nwgpc /kernel: fpa0: Link Unavailable Nov 7 14:08:12 nwgpc /kernel: fpa0: Halted: halt code = 3 (Software Fault) Nov 7 14:08:12 nwgpc last message repeated 3 times Nov 7 14:08:20 nwgpc /kernel: fpa0: Halted: halt code = 3 (Software Fault) Nov 7 14:08:48 nwgpc last message repeated 3 times Nov 7 14:09:25 nwgpc last message repeated 4 times Nov 7 14:09:26 nwgpc /kernel: fpa0: Link Unavailable Nov 7 14:09:26 nwgpc /kernel: fpa0: Link Available Currently I am using it on P/I-P6NP5, there's still same problem, but it is more quickly recognized. Only a few seconds wait. But when I used it with 2.2-0801 or 1014 SNAP, after fpa0 link is avaliable, the FDDI card doesn't send any packet. (but receiving is fine.) I didnt yet check it with 2.2-alpha. yamagata
