This test false positives after rebooting from Windows XP. After running Windows XP and then rebooting into FreeBSD, the re driver will report that the loopback test has failed. An additional reboot will clear this problem. The card is in a 32-bit slot and thus should not have the bug the driver is trying to detect. And in fact, the card works fine when it does get past the loopback test. >How-To-Repeat: Boot Windows. Restart and boot into FreeBSD. System boot up will halt during loopback test. Reboot again and it will succeed. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
