What does this error mean? In-Reply-To: <199601201826.NAA00744@fang.cs.sunyit.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk We see this warning too but have never had a problem with the adapter. We brought it from -current to 2.1R. The author of the driver (see if_vx.c) now thinks he mis applied a test for early bad boards. Forget it or comment the message out in the driver source. jbeukema On Sat, 20 Jan 1996 chuck@fang.cs.sunyit.edu wrote: > On Jan 19, 1:17pm, Basket Case wrote: > } Subject: 3com390 card -- Warning: Early Revision Adapter.
