There is a hardware bug that the chip on the Intel card has where the receiver will hang if it gets certain types of garbage, especially when operating in 10Mbps more. There is a work-around in the newer versions of the fxp driver that is believed to fix this. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
