Hi, Are you sure about this? I have used this particular network card on this system for 5 years under multiple operating systems and have had no problems with it to date. I only see this problem with the Aug. 18 CURRENT snapshot. If I reboot my system under FreeBSD-4.6, the card works fine. I did not need to run the DOS utilities from 3COM to get the card to work under FreeBSD-4.6.
