I had the same problem with a 3c509tp (2ports utp/aui). When FreeBSD
2.2.6 loaded the drivers for thecard it would give me the message to
'Turn off auto-detect'. The way I got around it was to
create a dos bootable disk. Download the latest 3Com Config utilities
for the card. Start
up with the boot disk, run the config util. and set whichever port I
wanted to use and
rebooted FreeBSD. I know it's prtty long winded, but it's a pretty
stable alternative.
