I can't do that based on this tiny bit of information. I wish I knew, but until I upgraded to 3.1-STABLE, I couldn't use a Macronix-based card.

The NIC is connected to a 100-base-T hub, so it's running at 100Mbps half duplex. It correctly detects/selects the media type: media: 100baseTX I see lots of input and output errors just before it blows up, yes: Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll mx0 1500 00.40.33.a5.0f.8c 1251 9 910 3 10 mx0 1500 209.133.29/27 209.133.29.20 1251 9 910 3 10 > > If it helps, the card is an SVEC PN102TX (early version).
