I recently built a new server with FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP to make use of the 3com590 cards that we wished to use. The driver support for them is very flakey. I can repeatedly cause the system to stop all traffic flowing over the ethernet card, requiring an ifconfig vx0 down ; sleep 1 ; ifconfig vx0 up to restore connectivity. Is anyone working on a better driver? especially one that uses all features of the hardware (and not just polling) as we also have a requirement to use 3c595's as soon as possible to make use of their 100Mb/sec transfers.
