Well, it's the same behavior. :-P The rl(4) driver doesn't allow for devices to go away and gets stuck in a loop spinning forever waiting for a card reset to succeed and the reset keeps failing for obvious reasons. Completely hangs the machine. *sigh* > Warner -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
