There's not, by chance, Win'95 involved here, is there? I've learned that if I multi-boot into Win'95 and it weaves its voodoo on my 3C589D then the only way to get FreeBSD 2.2.x to work with it is to either power-cycle the laptop or to pull the card, wait, and re-insert it. My assumption is that the Win'95 PnP code puts the 3C589D into some bogus state that can't easily be sorted out without a hard re-init of the card. An irritation, but also a compelling reason to minimize the number of times I actually boot a Micro$oft product ;-) An aside: Under Win'95 I get, like "best-case" ~60K/sec (FTP) between my laptop and my FreeBSD server. Under FreeBSD on the laptop, I consistently get > 700K/sec. (This on a relatively saturated 10b2 network.) I think Unca Bill's people have some work to do. ...sjs...
