I have a Netgear FA311 installed on one of my machines here that has
worked brilliantly since initial installation on FreeBSD 4.3 Release:
$ ifconfig sis0
sis0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet <snip> netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast <snip>
inet6 fe80::202:e3ff:fe1d:a235%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1=20
ether 00:02:e3:1d:a2:35
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
$=20
Output from pciconf -lv:
sis0@pci0:10:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0xf3111385 chip=3D0x0020100b rev=3D=
0x00
hdr=3D0x00 =20
vendor =3D 'National Semiconductor'
device =3D 'DP83815 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter (MacPhyter)'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet

I've never had any problems with this nic in any respect, so I'm
surprised to learn that you have problems with it. The only occasion
I've come across the watchdog timeout in the past involved the D-Link
530TX nic that affected some folks under heavy load. But this isn't the
scenario you've described here. Seems its failing straight after you've
installed it.
Initial questions:
1] Does / has the nic *actually* work(ed) for another OS?
2] How are you setting the IP Addr - /stand/sysinstall or with ifconfig?
3] Is there another pci slot available for you to move the nic to?
Writing this reply does bring me to recall that this is now the third
time I've seen someone complain about this nic.., but get back to the
list with the answers to the above and hopefully we can progress this
forward.
