I am using the xl driver under the GENERIC kernel, and I configured it
through /stand/sysinstall. Everything seems to be working, except when
I boot the system runs very slow and when I tried pinging a computer on
my LAN it returns 'host is down'. I can ping the same computer from
Windows just fine, so I know its not a hardware or LAN problem. How did
you confiigure your NIC?

Thanks
