The driver (pcn) loads and detects the NIC properly without any errors but the interface is unable to trasmit or receive any data. A workaround (not a very nice one afaik), is to recompile the kernel and leave out the pcn driver. By doing so FreeBSD will use the old lnc driver instead which works. Any ideas what's causing this behaviour? I'm using "FreeBSD BOX.BUNDLE 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: Thu Oct 21 17:55:29 CEST 2004". I also filed a PR regarding this issue. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=72966 //Danne
