If i try ifconfig ep1... , the system works, but network goes VERY-VERY SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW, even if i ping the neighbour machine(the ping intervals can be 1-2 minutes or can be +infinity at all). What's the matter with that!??? I've already tried to compile kernel with "device pnp0", it has no effect. Andrey >How-To-Repeat: take a <3com etherlink III 3C509 combo isa-pnp> network card and try to boot on 4.2-Realease with kernel.GENERIC. >Fix: I dunno, if you know, PLEASE let me know asap as well, or i'll install solaris 7 on my box and will never be using freebsd again if there's no support. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
