I think it is caused by the NCR/Symbios controller. It might be a side effect of the NCR just using up a lot of PCI bandwidth, with the real bug being in the fxp driver (although I've looked and haven't found one). So I don't think putting in a real Pro/100 will have any effect on the problem. Of course I don't really know what is causing it, so just about anything is possible. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
