The packet size problem doesn't show up until rev 1.148 of the fxp driver, which was committed on February 26th. My cards are the PILA8460C3 version, and have an IBM sticker saying these are "Intel (R) Pro/100S Desktop Adapter". The Intel web site confirms that the number on the barcode sticker is for an IBM OEM card. The chip is an 82550GY, and "pciconf -l" probes this card as: fxp0@pci0:10:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00508086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x0d hdr=0x00 I've got a couple Asus P2B-LS motherboards with onboard fxp interfaces, and at least one other fxp PCI card of an older vintage, and those have all worked flawlessly. It's just these two new cards that have been a problem.
