Scott, I tried your suggestion and now I'm getting "device_probe_and_attach: xe0 attach returned 12" I've tried several IRQs already (including those besides 9,10 and 11). I keep getting the watchdog timeout more then just a few times. Usually initiated if I try to ping something or open an ftp session. I'm starting to wonder if there's any known issues with the Thinkpads. My friend calls them "Stinkpads"...heh Thanks for all your help. >From: Scott Mitchell <scott.mitchell@mail.com> >To: "swaggy ." <quiksilver13@hotmail.com> >CC: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Re: Xircom CE3B-100BTX issues >Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 23:18:49 +0000 > >On Wed, Dec 05, 2001 at 03:26:50AM +0000, swaggy . wrote: > > I installed binaries (with just GENERIC kernel) of FreeBSD4.3 on my old > > Thinkpad 760C and I'm having problems with the NIC.
