Any hints? I got this on 4 of 4 such network cards, but only when overclocking my 300a cpu to 450. I only have one now and it is not in a freebsd machine anymore. Funny thing was I was Not overclocking the PCI bus at all, 33mhz. It would barf those errors and xfer nothing for a random # of seconds. The 50% speed boost is more important to me than a crappy nic. In its new (and last home before the trash or ebay) is in a win2k machine where it seems to function continuously but at most 1/3 of 100BT speeds. If you need a quick cheap possible fix, linksys 10/100 are $15 at compusa. Personally, next time I purchase a nic it will be a $35 Intel "fxp" and I will pretend its $20 less while enjoying fast speeds, reliability, and peace of mind :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
