I'm running a GENERIC kernel. Everything worked swimmingly with 4.3. As recommended in the release notes I put these lines hw.pcic.intr_path="1" hw.pcic.irq="0" into /boot/loader.conf Doing this made card insertion/removal dectection work again (it now longer hangs the system upon reinsertion! Yay!!). There still seem, however, to be some sort of interrupt problem or the like... something related to the new PCIC interrupt routing, perhaps? Take my 3Com NIC (3CXE589ET), for example. It seems to work in spurts. Dhclient seems to manage to get a lease... but if I run a ping, for example, I may receive no replies for a minute or so, and then all at once I'll see a burst of quite a few. Somewhat amusingly, the speaker makes a crackling sound at the same time (I've never configured the sound "card"!). My modem card behaves simlarily... communication happens in spurts. So... what's to be done? Help! :-) Thanks much, -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
