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.

Thanks,

Charles
