My system often does not detect 4 or 8 ports after a system crash. Rebooting via `reboot' _always_ helps, so I don't think it's a temperature problem here. > I'm running FreeBSD 2.1R on this machine. I also did, the problem has been present with 2.0,5 also. I upgraded to 2.1.5 yesterday, not enough time to reproduce the bug. It happened once or twice per month. I plan to use an intelligent card, which is able to handle at least 16 ports with 115200 bps with full hardware handshaking. What card should I buy for the use with FreeBSD 2.1.5?
