Hrm... Are you using the miibus if'ied fxp driver? I am not, due to some of the problems that arose when it was committed.. I would be willing to try again when I next upgrade my system, but as it is working perfectly right now, I do not wish to break anything ;) You might try the non-miibus driver, although, I do not see how adding miibus calls to the code could cause the system to hang, but then again, I am not a programmer, nor do I have any understanding of what the new driver does. > Also, once I suspect the USB controller stops working (controller error I > think) - never to return either.
