Could you please post a patch applicable to RELEASE rather than just
CURRENT ?

The line numbers are different between the two for some reason (more
patches maybe) and I think a functioning -RELEASE patch would be more
beneficial to those of us trying to run an (expendable backup) production
server. Maybe a commit to RELEASE as a patch since it makes some 905s
unuseable.

I think it'll solve my problem. I have a cruddy HP computer with 2 PCI
slots i've been running as a 4.x router/test box. 1 slot has a 905cx-txm
and the other is a 905b-txnm. Both get the same irq on boot. In 5.0, on
boot, the link light for the B seems o turn off when the kernel loads or
thereabouts making it unuseable. The C is then useable, but creates a slew
of network problems. when ssh'd in from another machine, I get a

Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input.

error during the session or:

key_verify failed for server_host_key

during negotiation.

Failures seem to occur after a light (4-5K) amount of data has been
transfered through the interface.

By removing the B, the problems decrease to about 5% the frequency. by
removing the C instead, they seem to go away totally. Both cards were
working fine previously. I suspect that the xl driver is totally
unsuitable ATM for production use. For those of us who work with a few
dozen 905's, it's not a little problem with the release.

Thanks for making FreeBSD better.

-Stephen
