I know you don't want to run at 10mbs, but if it works without panics, that narrows down where your problems are coming from. I also seem to remember other people having trouble with 3com cards and the xl driver (I could be wrong, check the list archives for this list and the -STABLE list) so I'll reiterate, test out a different make/model of NIC and see if the problem disappears. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
