The B revision of the Fast EtherLink is not supported, my system runs into exactly the same problem if I load my 3C905B instead of my A (I have a pair of them). Hopefully the new xl driver should resolve this problem by implementing dedicated 3C905B support, with full support for the busmastering DMA mode the 3C905s are capable of. Time to watch them reach their full potential :) -- Kevin Lam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
