Hi all,

What successes have people had with nge(4) cards on Alpha?

I am currently running 5.1-RELEASE on a Cabriolet (PC-64) and even though 
the Netgear GA622T is a 64-bit PCI card, it is working quite happily in a 
32-bit slot.

I also have a PWS-500au (Miata) running 4.8-STABLE (from July 12), but so 
far all attempts to get the card working properly are failing.  In a 64-bit 
slot, the card is recognised by the kernel during boot, and appears to 
think it's bringing the link up OK, but cannot ping across the link, and no 
link lights are on the switch.

The switch is an unmanaged Netgear GS516T

 From 5.1-RELEASE-
