Please test the patches available at: http://opal.com/jr/freebsd/sys/dev/usb/ > Also, do you have any suggestions for alternatives? I know your problem well. I do have a bunch of not supported USB NICs but also I've got a bunch of supported ones (mostly aue(4) based ones). These are cheap, and are sold a lot. There's (AFAIK) just one newer aue chipset which is currently not supported by aue(4) and is giving some errors. I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong with them. When grabbing aue based USB NICs from an online source, the chances are 3 out of 4 you're getting a supported one. But you should test your USB200Mv2 using the patches first. Volker
