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?
