I'm having intermittant problems with my 3c509 and 2.1.0-R. Occasionally X
window applications just disappear, and sometimes 'fvwm' will just freeze -
won't change focus or update window borders. Both of these events typically
coincide with 'ep0: Status: 2002' appearing in the system logs.

When running under Linux, I got similar messages to these in the logs,
although a lot less frequently, and there were definitely no problems with
X window applications.

The 3c509 driver is listed as 'buggy' so perhaps that is the bug - however
I have since upgraded the driver to the one present in -stable (the one in
-current crashed completely), and that too has the same problems.

Has anybody else had these problems? Would it be possible to look at the
Linux driver and crib the relevent bits to fix the problems?

Failing that, can anyone recommend a good (fast) PCI ethernet card that is
fully supported under FreeBSD 2.1.0-R?

cheers for any help

David
