David Greenman is Mr. fxp0 and he's at usenix. I cc'ed him with a copy of your message to increase the liklihood that he'll see it when he comes back and tries to dig out. Probably the best thing to do now would be to use the send-pr tool so that your report (and the fix you provide) is recorded into the gnats problem tracking database. Thanks for the report! -Chris On Wed, 17 Jun 1998, Cejka Rudolf wrote: > > This is continuation of my problem "DISKLESS & fxp0" from > freebsd-questions. > > I have box with Intel EtherExpress 100B network card.
