I posted this about a month ago to questions but never received a reply.  
I wonder if any of these issues are related...

I could of questions that perhaps someone could clarify:
   Using FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE:

1. Why when unplugging the cable from the UTP port on an SMC pci adapter 
   I get: de0: abnormal interrupt: 0xfc669004 [0x9000] ?
   Wouldn't 'de0: carrier lost - check cable' be more appropriate?

2. When there is no cabled plugged into the adapter, the kernel during 
   probing, configures it for the AUI (doesn't have one) port.  Once the 
   system has booted, you have to initialize it with ifconfig {params} 
   -link2 to get the UTP port to work again, but just ifconfig 
   (before init) doesn't show that link2 is infact on.  This took a few 
   minutes to figure out what was really going on!

Thanks!
