Nope.. I just downgraded to 3.4-STABLE - works like a dream. The problem
was posted on freebsd-bugs ("kern/17965") but i just popped in here to see
if it were fixed (i make world'd 4.0-STABLE + made a new kernel 2 days ago
and it was still broken) and to perhaps offer some clues as to why it was
happening. I would've stuck with 4.0-STABLE but basically the network was
dying whenever i tried to anything more than just telnet. ftpd, samba, and
squid would basically die much the moment the connection/transfer started.
So...
3.4-STABLE + Shuttle HOT-541 motherboard = fine
3.4-STABLE + AOpen AX59 Pro = fine
4.0-STABLE + Shuttle HOT-541 = fine
4.0-STABLE + AOpen AX59 Pro = broken
Must be something wrong with that miibus thing or they broke the vr driver
somewhere along the lines.
I have a strange feeling now that i've gone back to 3.4 that there was a
way to use vr0 without the miibus under 4.0.. Is there?
Cheers
Chris
