Hi!

I'm trying to install freebsd 4.1 release. I've tried with both a 3com
589c- and a 589d-card.

The card is detected correct and the computer gets it IP address via
dhcp. Before going on with the installation I try to ping the computer
from a computer on the same LAN. It works but the ping time is quite
high:
64 bytes from 10.0.2.180: icmp_seq=278 ttl=255 time=1309.083 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.2.180: icmp_seq=279 ttl=255 time=299.087 ms

64 bytes from 10.0.2.180: icmp_seq=292 ttl=255 time=1170.369 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.2.180: icmp_seq=293 ttl=255 time=160.365 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.2.180: icmp_seq=294 ttl=255 time=1151.380 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.2.180: icmp_seq=295 ttl=255 time=141.383 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.2.180: icmp_seq=296 ttl=255 time=1131.518 ms

Then I continue the installation. When the download of the distributions
are about to start the TCP/IP stack seems to die. I've checked with
ethereal and the last output from the computer is an arp-request for the
DNS-server.

What is the black magic I need to know to get a 3com 3c589c- or
3c589d-card working with FreeBSD 4.1?
