Hullo Matt,

the 'le' driver (DEC DE20x - Etherworks series NICs) in FreeBSD V4 is
'broken'. This was reported by a friend of mine here in Oz (he & I both
worked for DEC, he's still with compaq). The reference is
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18641>. The only reply to
the above 'gnats' report is a confirmation that it is 'still broken'.

My friend has 'worked around' the problem by buying a couple of NE2K
clones. For the moment, I've left those machines I have with DE203s on
V3.3-R, being wary that the 'changes' that broke V4 may well be in the
later V3 tree as well.

So, not good news at all, sorry. Now, if you have the skills to track
down the problem... ;')

regards,

haxxa
