The lnc driver is pretty marginal at the moment. I'd avoid it if at all possilble. I ran some tests at the local IBM evaluation lab and I wasn't too happy with the onboard ethernet.

If it's working OK, then it'll probably continue to work just fine. It's quite likely that the BSD/OS driver just doesn't bother to report this error (which seems to indicate a very busy ethernet). -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
