Some 100baseTX eth cards don't do 100baseTX, full-duplex very well. I think it has something to do with the card's processor, or maybe the buffer, i forget. The point is, if you ARE doing 100baseTX, full-duplex, try putting it down to half-duplex, and see if that helps. It worked for me :) -Jesse P.S. It's strange, I thought there wouldn't be any problem with Intel's cards, but coming from the people who made the P2/3, i guess i shouldn't be surprized :P --- Branko Miskov <branko@borderware.com> wrote: > Hello, > > Has anyone experienced any difficulties with high > traffic volume through > their onboard card on their Compaq with FreeBSD 3.x? > It seems that the > interface hangs when high volumes of traffic pass > through it.
