Hi, all I tried to install a new intel 82550 based ethernet adapter on my freebsd 4.7. In the first time, I don't want to recompile my kernel. So, I add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: if_fxp_load="YES" The driver loaded and the adapter identified as fxp0. But the system reboot every time while I tried to run ifconfig on fxp0. Did I do anything wrong using loadable module? Or loadable module support not stable on this release. The second time, I compile fxp driver to my new kernel and every thing seem work ok. This 82550 adapter has 3des support bulletin, how can I identify this function enabled? I alread use link0 parameter on ifconfig to load microcode as manual page instructed. Thanks, Vincent Chen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!奇摩造型精靈 最新的造型精靈簽名檔，讓信件獨具個人色彩！ http://tw.avatar.yahoo.com/
