ATM the driver has three known issues. o poor Rx performance I'm working on this but had no clue so far. o 88E8055 hangup : One user reported system freeze when msk(4) is loaded. Since I don't have the hardware it's very hard to fix. :-( o Manual speed selection doesn't seem to work. It needs additional code for e1000phy(4) to fix. You need latest CURRENT to aplly the patch. The driver will print very ugly number sequnces but you can safely ingore it. -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
