YongHyeon PYUN provided some patches to the = kernel that resolved the problem. However, without an internet = connection its a bit tricky to get them into the system. Here is the = approach I believe will work, but wanted to check first before I really = mess things up. 1. Downloaded from current today via svnweb.freebsd.org: sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c I believe the patches are incorporated in today's versions. The = comments indicate such. Thus I don't need to apply the original = supplied patch. 2. Put those on a flash drive. 3. Install 9.1 release from flash drive onto the Mini disk. Have to = include the system source. 4. Copy the files from 1 above from flash over the files on the disk. 5. Rebuild the kernel and install it. Thanks, -- Doug=
