I think there was a bug in the fxp code around 4.7-RELEASE... but that was fixed and been working without a hitch since. I did send a reply to the original poster about adding an /etc/start_if.fxp0 file so he can change the MAC address on the nic to be that of the realtek he wants to replace. The cable modems work with a learned MAC address and if he changes the nic, the MAC address will change unless he manually intervenes. -- Scott Nolde GPG Key 0xD869AB48 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
