I will ask person to check the cables.

I put sk drivers in /usr/src/sys/pci and compiled and installed kernel=
again.

ifconffig sk0 up might be the solution until I find the problem.

This system is SMP system, so I guess that is why fxp is timing out too.

It is not using polling. I should ask the person to check the MB.
gw# vmstat -i

Yes, I have at least several machines running=20
FreeBSD-5.3 with 2 fxp cards and they seem to be OK.
Also I have another 2 FreeBSD 6.0 machine with 2=20
fxp NIC and they are also fine.
I tried onboard pcn card:
pcn0@pci0:9:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x20001014=20
chip=3D0x20001022 rev=3D0x36 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)'
device =3D 'Am79C970/1/2/3/5/6 PCnet LANCE PCI Ethernet Controller'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet
However system crashes after connecting the=20
cable. After reboot it is the same, crashes.
