I obviously missed that. It would be interesting to install a PCI Pro/100+ and see if the behavior changes. That would lead me to think that the BIOS is doing something funky to it. I wonder if doing a "FXP_PORT_SOFTWARE_RESET" rather than, or in addition to, the "FXP_PORT_SELECTIVE_RESET" would effect the problem? -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
