The card is a PCI based Kingston EtherRx, and the message appears only on bootup. de0 rev 17 int a irq 11 on pci0:19:0 de0: 21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1 de0: address 00:c0:f0:15:e8:ed [...] de0: enabling 10baseT port de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped Other than this message I have had no problems with the card/driver EXCEPT that when the cable is disconnected from the hub or card, the interface is no longer accessible... The system complains about a cable fault and then boom, no more packets. I didn't have a chance to check into this further. (ie: would ifconfig down then ifconfig up fix it) - Bruce ======================================================================== || Bruce M.
