It sounds to me as though you're in the interrupt routine for the 'ep' driver and spinning endlessly. > If I remove 3C589D with running 'apmconf -e' notebook hang up even I > didn't run 'ifconfig ep0 ..' before - without any network activity. I think *this* may have something to do with the interaction between APM and your hardware; it seems to me that you might be getting an APM event related to the card removal. If you're able to pursue these issues a little further, I'd be interested to know if you turn anything up. Needless to say, I use APM and plug/remove cards on a regular basis (including a 3c589), so I know it's _supposed_ to work. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
