Unfortunately, this version of FreeBSD panics upon seeing an fxp network interface. Does anyone have an updated driver for the Alpha that supports the fxp interface ? There is also a "de" interface on the Alpha that works with FreeBSD but the performance is rather dismal. A webserver running on the machine gives only 120 req/s on this machine (as opposed to 800 req/s on a Pentium III). Moreover, most of the time the OS shows that its idle - looks like the problem lies in the "de" driver. An updated de driver would also be appreciated. - Mohit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
