Got a new Abit BE6 instead, works like a > dream. Highly recommended. Well the motherboard is a FIC PA-2011 IIRC - I am running -current, but the driver is the same AFAIK. I have put the sysctl in and am waiting to see if the problems recur. Changing h/w seems a little heavy handed - I am not in the positition to do that right now - I'd like to see if there is a perhaps a software solution to this first. Do we know for sure it is the hardware ? Does Linux have problems on the same hardware ? If I knew more about the driver I'd do some hacking, but I don't right now. If this is a known problem, it should be put in a FAQ somewhere.
