It works well for me with the ET version of the onboard nic, but *not* the EM version. Upgrade to -STABLE and you should hopefully be fine. >The machine is currently running 4.3-RELEASE from a CD install.

At one point, I was able to get the machine to work a little longer by limiting the amount of throughput via dummynet. Try setting it to something like 1Mb in and out... Hopefully that will let you cvsup long enough to get the update. ... >Jul 31 17:08:18 phl /kernel: fxp0: port >0xdf00-0xdf3f mem 0xff8ff000-0xff8fffff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci1 >Jul 31 17:08:18 phl /kernel: fxp0: Ethernet address 00:03:47:a0:49:91 After reboot, if you have the ET version, it will look something like fxp1: port 0xc400-0xc43f mem 0xd5101000-0xd5101fff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci1 fxp1: Ethernet address 00:01:80:05:d2:67 inphy1: on miibus1 inphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto if the phy says, EM, in my case anyways, its still unreliable.
