Subject: FreeBSD 3.1 locks when using fxp0 ...

FreeBSD 3.1 locks when using fxp0 (Intel Pro100B) during installation. When
the installation script attempts to bind ip address & netmask the unit locks
hard.  The unit must be power cycled to recover.  

Hardware:

Compaq Deskpro EN  (DPENS P400/6)
400MHZ PII  CPU
128MB RAM
ATI Rage Turbo AGP (Embedded)
Compaq Intel 10/100 Network Controller (Embedded Intel 82558B)
Seagate ST36423A 6.1GB IDE

After the lock up, the unit can be rebooted, and the fxp0 driver is loaded
in the kernel, displays the node address of the NIC, and appears to be ok.
Typing the following will also lock the unit:

# ifconfig fxp0 inet 200.100.50.25 netmask 255.255.255.0

Can someone help with this issue?  I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.8 on the
same computer and it works great.  Both distributions are from Cheapbytes.


Thanks,
JP
