Even in the mail archives I see the question asked, but I couldn't find an answer.. Basically, when I boot I see: vx0 <3COM 3C590 Etherlink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:20 utp/aui/bnc[*utp*] address x:x..hardware addr.. Warning! Defective early revision adapter! OK, so its an defective adapter.. what does this mean? Is it a hardware problem, and i'm just SOL, or can I get an upgrade for it? I searched 3com's site as well, and coudln't find anything about it... -Brandon Gillespie
