> My main, if not only problem is the NIC being so unreliable. You may want to upgrade to 5.3-STABLE. I installed 5.3-RELEASE on an ASUS K8V (which has the same NIC). I kept the following loop running in the background while :; do sleep 20 ifconfig sk0 down ifconfig sk0 up done this kept the network driver usable while I downloaded the -stable tree. A make world later, the box was stable. If you don't want to change your userland, you could probably get by recompiling the kernel with an 5.3-STABLE version of "if_sk.c". I haven't tested this though. -- FreeBSD Volunteer, http://people.freebsd.org/~jkoshy
