The one thing I've found that "fixes" it is to enable Polling on the interface. This may require you to add: options DEVICE_POLLING to the kernel. Then, you can just add "polling" to your rc.conf setting for the card. If it's already in your kernel, you can just issue "ifconfig <int> polling" and that will do it. By the way, your mileage may vary in a *big* way. :-) Regards, Mike mksmith@adhost.com (work) mksmith@mac.com (!work)
