I am at the moment playing installing 3 machines with resp. FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. All 3 are connected by a small ultracheap 10MB/s hub to the net, and have Intel 10/100 cards. The FreeBSD and OpenBSD downloads were fine, but the NetBSD stalled horribly. I have tried all settings of half-duplex and full duplex without getting anything. At home i have a 3Com and i had similar stalls but solved by setting half-duplex. The settings that work are 10baseT/UTP. -- Michel Talon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
