I never tried FreeBSD 3.1, but AFAIK the en0 >> driver did not change. CRC errors indicate cell loss at an intermediate ATM switch. If only en0 has CRC errors with the same configuration, it could be that en0 sends cells faster than hea0. (last time I looked, the en driver uses larger DMA bursts.) -Kenjiro To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
