I am using FreeBSD4.8-RELEASE with a D-Link DFE-580 4-port FastEthernet NIC (ste driver). I seem to have problems with packet losses despite the system is far from being fully loaded. I have found the following comment in the CVS repository of if_ste.c (Revision 1.33): "This card still has seemingly unfixable issues under heavy RX load in which the card takes over the PCI bus." Are there any news about this? If there are indeed unfixable issues, can anyone recommend an alternative 4-port card that is currently available? Many thanks, Martinhelp
