Interrupt overhead is fairly low too, better than NE2000 clones anyway. We really need to add if_media support to the driver. I got some way through doing it for 2.2.8 but then the driver in -CURRENT diverged too much. I have now upgraded to 3.2-STABLE so I'll take another look at it. The alternative is to force the chip into half-duplex mode in the driver. Robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
