Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a FBSD box which has been running very well on FBSD 2.2.6 I'm now trying to install a first SCSI card to it so that I can attach a tape drive but whenever the SCSI card is present, all networking either : (1) dies or (2) slows down to 10000+ ms pings. I've attached the dmesg output in the hope that someone can spot what might be the problem. (I know the 3Com 3509 is a bit dodgy with FBSD - eg. I need a script to ping out from the box after any restart otherwise the machine remains invisible to the network ! After this ping, everything works fine... that's been the case with all my 3com NICs !). However, adding the SCSI just kills the NIC totally - no matter of pinging out gets it out of sloth/zombie mode. Thanking you in advance, chas Dmesg output when SCSI card is present : ---------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 1992-1998 FreeBSD Inc.
