So, you should put back on your TODO list that the ep driver is buggy with 3c509 cards. On the other hand, if its the original 3c509 with the problem, then don't bother, since they don't sell 'em anymore, to my knowledge. Anyway, now that I'm all set, maybe someone can direct me to some documentation on the kernel source tree. :) Sean ________________________________________________________________________ Sean Lyndersay Logic is a systematic method for coming lynders@hcs.harvard.edu to the wrong conclusion with confidence. ________________________________________________________________________ [finger for all other info] http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~lynders > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul King [mailto:paulk@ether.online.sh.cn] > Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 1998 4:17 AM > To: Sean Lyndersay; dg@root.com > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Slow network performance on 3com 3c509 > > > Try use the configuration of 3C509 as Win95/NT. > > ---------- > > From: Sean Lyndersay > > To: dg@root.com > > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: RE: Slow network performance on 3com 3c509 > > Date: Tuesday, March 31, 1998 2:01 PM > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: root@implode.root.com [mailto:root@implode.root.com]On Behalf Of > > > David Greenman > > > Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 1998 12:54 AM > > > To: Sean Lyndersay > > > Subject: Re: Slow network performance on 3com 3c509 > > > > > > > > > >Okay, I've removed the SB16 completely, and rebuilt the kernel > > > with no sound > > > >support.
