Respectfully, I wonder if this is because people didn't know the link settings necessary to activate it on 2.1-STABLE. On 2.1 we are using ifconfig_de0="inet x.x.x.x link0 link1 link2 netmask x.x.x.x" in /etc/sysconfig and it is working like a charm. The switch reports no corrupt packets and netstat reports no collisions (implying nominal full duplex operation). I'll keep messing around with 2.2-STABLE and report anything that might be useful. Thanks, Chris
