Is there any chance of the problem with the genuine de cards locking up when the link drops being fixed in 2.2.5? I cvsup-ed two days ago, and I still see the problem. To recap, if you have a Digital card, de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 32 int a irq 12 on pci0:10 de0: DEC DE500-AA 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 de0: address 00:00:f8:03:66:e9 running 10M and you down the link by unplugging it, moving it to another hub port, rebooting the hub, etc. it will not come back on it's own. As a workaround I've been using the 3am driver. Is there a reason this hasn't been integrated? I've not seen any negative feedback about the other driver, and it handles the above situation properly.
