>Environment:
FreeBSD Release4.2
>Description:
Well, I have a 3Com EtherLinkIII isa pnp-card, when I load my machine
with kernel.GENERIC, it recognizes the card:

Qoute from dmesg:"ep0 <3com.......> irq9 isa0
ep0: eprom failed to come ready
ep0: Ethernet address 00:00:00:00:00:00
ep1:<3Com...> at port... irq9 on isa0
ep1: Ethernetaddress: 00:60:....:bb
ep1: promiscious mode enabled
ep1: promiscious mode disabled
ep1: promiscious mode enabled
ep1: promiscious mode disabled
"
If I try ifconfig ep0 - the system hangs!!!!!!!!! 

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.
