Hi.
I've got a 3c509B running quite happily with 2.2.5-RELEASE
However, it wasn't always this way - I had some weird and wonderful
problems. What I eventually had to do was disable Plug-n-Pray then lock
down the board's config to whatever FreeBSD expected.
To do the above you'll need to dig out your a copy of the NICs setup disks
and run the configure prog from DOS.
TTFN, FNORD
