Jordan - I discovered this while trying to catch up on 1800+ pieces of mail (I've been busy with work lately.) Anyway, I find that with my 3c509 at work - if I boot DOS/Windows, then reboot into FreeBSD, FreeBSD does not recognize the 3c509. If I physically turn the machine off, FreeBSD does recognize the 3c509. Thus, I think there is possibly a probe problem here... - Dave Rivers - (p.s. this is with FreeBSD 2.0R, using the OS/2 boot manager to bounce between FreeBSD, OS/2, DOS/Windows.) > > Jordan, > We've been missing each other's telephone calls.
