Reply-to: phil@lansys.webleicester.co.uk Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.31) Message-ID: X-Info: The Web Factory (Leicester) Electronic Mail System Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to use a 3c590 with the 0323 SNAP and I am having problems. The card is marked up as rev B but it is probed as an old 'faulty' card, I understand from previous postings that this is a problem with invalid probing so I ignored that. On power-up the card is detected properly but hangs on ifconfig, only a ctrl-c will allow the boot process to continue (it also hangs on sendmail not surprisingly). No network activity is then allowed. If I then reboot the machine everything works fine. Is there any additional configuration I need to do as I don't really want to scrap the card. Has the driver been improved since this snap, and if so should I be able to merge the newer driver into the kernel without any problems?
