I replaced the 3com 3c996B-T nics (bge driver) with Asante 1000TPC nics (nge driver) and now nfs works just fine. Apparently there is something wrong either with these 3com nics or with the bge driver when using nfs under 4.6-STABLE (as of a cvsup and make world this morning 7/1). --Lee > -----Original Message----- > From: McKenna, Lee > Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 11:13 AM > To: 'freebsd-net@freebsd.org' > Subject: bge problem under 4.6-stable > > > I have two machines with new 3Com 3C996B-T adapters using the > bge0 driver and I am having a problem with nfs.
