Changed the two 3c509's for a couple of 3c900 boards (vx driver) and the problems went away. I haven't even bothered using 3c509's with freebsd since then. My guess is 3c509 support is still 'buggy' :) hope this helps -Adrian On Mon, 12 Jan 1998, Greg Skafte wrote: > Over the last few weeks with various versions of RELENG_2_2 I've been > having a problem with my 3c509 cards.
