The machine in question has been running a 3c509B combo card since 2.0.5 with little incendent until early December under RELENG_2_2 . I haven't looked into the CVS trees yet to see what has changed yet. I see that the time stamp on if_ep.c is Dec 1 and if_epflags.h is Jan 9 ..... but nothing further ....
