So, I'm not the only one having this problem. FYI, since my last message about this problem, I have tried many things, including plugging the card in another machine and installing a brand new FreeBSD 2.2.6 on it, and I still get the same hang problem. I tend to believe that the vx driver works whith 3C905 chips but not whith 3C905B chips. After all, maybe 3COM had a good reason to change the device number ? Now I guess we just have to wait until an updated version of the driver comes out. --- Damien DIXSAUT Computer science student Paris, France > driver.
