Hi Mike,

I found out not long ago that this also fixes a problem i have been having 
with my vr0 card (D-Link DFE-530TX).

Under 3.x there was no such problem however. Do you have any ideas what on 
earth is making us go back to 10Mbps HD?! I used to run fine on 100Mbps FD 
3 times over (installed 4.x, back to 3.x, etc, 3 times). Same cables. Same 
nics. Same machine. 3.x performs excellent (11.5MB/s). 4.x runs like an 
absolute dog.

On the other hand, i have a rl0 card running fine at 100Mbps FD under 3.x 
and 4.x.

Something seems to be very randomly wrong with FreeBSD 4.x.

Regards,

Chris
