Has anyone > used this card with luck under STABLE ? I'm using one on an alpha: Preloaded elf module "rp.ko" at 0xfffffc000074e0c0 <...> rp0: port 0x10080-0x100bf irq 9 at device 10.0 on pci0 RocketPort0 (Version 3.02) 8 ports. <..> I needed to backport the -current driver because the alpha needs the busspace work present in the -current driver. In case you have more luck with the -current driver, I've left it a http://people.freebsd.org/~gallatin/rp.tgz Just extract it into /usr/src/sys, cd /sys/modules/rp, make depend, make install. To try it, remove the rocketport device from your kernel, reboot, and load the new rp.ko module.
