I saw a problem like this with the old driver some time ago, where the automatic media detection stuff on one of those cards would get confused if the hub the card was plugged into went away for a few seconds. The card would switch to the AUI or coax port and then get stuck that was. You had to up and down the interface to fix it. This problem is seemingly due to the disign of the media detection on the cards, so similar trouble may still exist with some cards? You could try hard wiring the media type and see if that makes a difference. David. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
