Stephen Gunn" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We have been running the de0 driver from 3.0-CURRENT under a very recent 2.2.5-BETA and don't see any problems. I applied the patches from 3.0-CURRENT to fix some memory buffer problems by hand to the versions available on www.3am-software.com and everything worked fine from there. We are using BayNetworks NetGear 10/100 PCI adaptors. They are based on the 21140A chipset. Actually they work too well, and we need to buy a 10/100 Switch now so they don't kill our network doing innocent things like ftp. Netatalk still seems to be broken, but that's now appears to be independant of the problems we had seen with the de0 drivers. Let me know if anybody wants more info on our "successful testing" - Steve -- C.
