To my knowledge, the 3c509 doesn't support PnP (this is the original, not
the 3c509b). There's certainly no such option in the configuration program.
As for a bad cable segment, is there something unique to FreeBSD that would
cause such a problem to be show up, considering that I have no problems
getting speeds of 200K/s under Win95/NT.
