There are many excellent reasons to select FreeBSD over Linux, but I'm afraid ne2000 hangs are not one of them. My comment is based on running a couple of non-hanging terabytes through ne2ks on 1.1.x and 1.2.x kernels in recent years, and recently a few dozen gigabytes in my office between FreeBSD 2.1R and STABLE and 1.2.13s. -- Howard Goldstein <hg@n2wx.ampr.org>
