I'm running 3.3-STABLE on a box at the office, with the following card
detected:
xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> rev 0x24 int a irq 9 on pci0.20.0
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:4b:69:5c:64
xl0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 10Mbps)
And have the following messages popping up fairly frequently:
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: command never completed!
xl0: command never completed!
I haven' tworried too much abuot them, since it hasn't noticeably affected
performance, I don't think...anyone want to comment on these, since the
thread is going?
