What bothers me sometimes is that these cards get into a funny mode where they appear to mess up all imcoming frames. This usually happens when I boot Another OS (TM), and then FreeBSD. I have to hit the reset switch (soft reboots do not work) to get the thing working again. This is the 3c509 model that has a BNC and a 10BaseT connector. Haven't seen it on other models yet. Other than that, nice cards. -- Michiel Boland <boland@diva.nl> Digital Valley Internet Professionals Duivendaal 4, Wageningen, The Netherlands Phone: +31 317 465555, Fax: +31 317 460276 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
