The driver hasn't been officially tested with the 82562 and I don't at the moment have the necessary programming information for that chip to know if there are problems using it with the fxp driver. I don't have an 815 to test with at the moment, but it seems reasonable that I might get one at some point to troubleshoot the problem. I can't commit to any timeframe, however, so if the timeouts aren't a major problem, I would just ignore them for now. On the other hand, if the timeouts are a problem, then I'd recommend getting a Pro/100+ PCI card, plugging that in, and using it instead. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
