This problem, perhaps, is a result of this newer card expecting PCI 2.2? The hardware that I have is pretty old- about 5 years. I know that this issue has been discussed on some mailing lists, but I was unable to find an actual bug report dealing with it. >How-To-Repeat: Put in a recent model of Linksys's LNE-100TX NIC (rev. 5.1 is what I have). This problem may be hardware-dependent, but I am getting an invalid MAC at boot. >Fix: Not sure....could be hardware-related; if so, perhaps there is a workaround possible from within the kernel? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
