I just recall a few years ago a certain set of SMC cards that refused to work with just about anything else... Personaly Iv had some bad experiances with 3com cards as well, like them dissapearing from the system after a reboot and other things... What I really meant was it seems they have all 3com gear, so it was probably all got at the same time so it "should" work ok together.. I dont think that replacing them with Intel cards will solve the problem, but hey it might :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
