Something strange. It uses a DELAY() what should work independently of any machine speed. But it was told in -hackers that it may lie on big delays :-( > > My card > > is ASSY 03-0021-001 REV-A.

It's a common problem :-( > It works fine when warm booting from FreeBSD and on a cold boot (now that > 'plug-n-play' is turned off). It's what my old 3c509 does but this new 3c509B fails. BTW, these words "Parallel Tasking" are not about B-series only, they are about the whole line of 3c509 since 1992 (according to the 3Com tech-tip). I know now why it doesn't works with "plug-n-play" turned on and I hope it will be possibly to change driver to work with it. Serge Babkin ! (babkin@hq.icb.chel.su) !
