If you see this message but the driver continues to function normally, the message can probably be ignored. It seems the machine is working OK, but the message rate disturbs me. Means it, this machine is slow? It is: CPU: Pentium/P54C (167.05-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52c Stepping =12 Features=0x1bf real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes) The traffic through this NIC was in this time 2Mb/s In + 2Mb/s Out. May I ignore these messages or I must upgrade the machine? Regards, Bohus Plucinsky To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
