Thanks for the reply,I ended up swapping the DEC card witha Ne2000 IBM card, the DEC works fine in Win, and now the Ne2k is working in BSD. The problem has been confusing since at work we have several BSD servers with the identical NIC running earlier versions of BSD. I'll make sure we don't upgrade to 4.X until the problem is fixed:) Thanks for the info. Matt > Hullo Matt, > > the 'le' driver (DEC DE20x - Etherworks series NICs) in FreeBSD V4 is > 'broken'.
