It appears to be innocuous. Is it? There is a DOS utility on driver disk 1, with it you can turn off auto-negotiate and lock the card down to either 10 or 100 MB, i am pretty sure that is what this is referring to. If you don't have the disk, download http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/3c59x/3c59xn.exe the EXE you will need to run is 3C59XCFG.EXE hope this helps Jonathan Feldkamp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
