Btw, it was late when i wrote this, but for more info (in case anyone else is having this problem) check the following link. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18335 I've been skimming messages (not at work, so i'm checking mail over the web....200+ emails, ugh :)), and the PR says that (IIRC) it only affects certain versions of the chipset, meaning that it may work, or it may not. Also, it says that turning off DMA fixes this problem on some boxes, on mine, it doesn't....so you may have luck with that till they find a fix. hopefully this isn't beating a dead horse, this will be my last mail on the subject unless you want to talk about it privately.
