The problem is exactly the same with the NetGear FA310TX I have in my
gateway box. Luckily the problem isnt too drastic for me, since the box'
only internet connectivity is 56k, hardly likely to max out a 10baseT
connection ;)
My card, however, works without a problem under other operating
systems. It can only be said that the driver is at fault here. Whether
it be because the driver is young, and not yet fully featured I cant tell,
but I mailed the author some time ago, and recieved no response. I can
only suggest that you try the same, and ask him what the status is.
The author (as detailed at the head of /usr/src/sys/pci/if_pn.c) is Bill
Paul, wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu.
