It appears that you can't do full-duplex (which is what you are doing with a crossover cable) with that card under FreeBSD. Can you send the card back and get something else? I use 3Com cards here and they work fine. Perhaps search the archives and see what cards work in full-duplex mode with FreeBSD. -- Glenn Johnson Technician USDA, ARS, SRRC New Orleans, LA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
