Matt,

Do you have a new version of the de driver that is for FreeBSD-current?
(The above version does not compile in -current.) I have moved my
SMC9332BDT card into my dual PPro SMP test system (had to keep my
workstation sys running :-() and it is running current (need SMP
support there).

When I boot a UP kernel on this system the symptoms are precisely
the same as on my other (single) PPro system (after boot no lights
on either the card or the hub [for its port] and no network activity
at all).  Strangely, when I boot an SMP kernel, I have lights on
(both card and hub) but I get timeouts and the network is still
broken.  BTW, this behavior is exactly what I see with the SMP
kernel for the fxp driver and an Intel card, however the Intel card
works fine with a UP kernel.

I suspect that these are two separate problems.
