What device is this, anyway? I think > it's a 3com but I'm not sure. Yeah, it's a: vx0 <3COM 3C595 Fast Etherlink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:10:0 My net works, so by "confusing the driver," do you mean poorer performance? I don't want to disable auto select because then I'll have trouble (I think) when I move my machine between 10 and 100 Mbs hubs. I imagine I'll have to reconfigure my card every time I switch. > Doug White | University of Oregon Thanks, David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
