I tried 5.3-STABLE, but no success. OS still panics with same message below. 5.2.1-RELEASE works, but its not current anymore and I don't want to install an older OS. Besides, even with 5.2.1, I had to hardcode the media settings for the interface. OpenBSD 3.6 does not seem to have this problem and uses the same driver. So until I see that the problem is fixed, I have to move my IDS's over to OpenBSD. sp0ng3b0b wrote: >>> I am getting a page fault with a new install of FreeBSD 5.3 Release. >>> Something changed with the nge driver in FreeBSD 5.3.
