I am wondering if this has to do with the different versions of the fxp card out there. I know that the new cards are a pain in the ass to install on NT because the drivers that come with the original NT server CD do not work at all with the new cards. Perhaps there is some version issue here. The card that you have, is it one of the newer ones ? The differences are visually easy to spot. The new cards are perfectly square, where as the old ones have an irregular shape where the edge connector section is. ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel 01.519.651.3400 Network Administrator, noc@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
