Upon reboot, it shows that it has properly seen the network port 100BT full duplex and the network cards show the 100 BT link light on: .... /kernel: xl1: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps) Another characteristic is that the 3.0 machine hung the boot around configuring sendmail (probably because the network wasn't working). Any help is appreciated for this weird side effect.
