Hi,

I today tried to upgrade my SMC-8216 Elita Ultra ethernet card to a nice
Macronix 98713 card a friend of mine had lying around.

It's a FreeBSD-3.2-STABLE system cvsupped and buildworld today (July 7th)

I checked the LINT file for support and found the following:
device mx0

After rebuilding my kernel and ensuring etc/rc.conf contained the proper
settings for the network card ... (changing all the ed0 references to mx0)
I found that my system would always lock up somewhere during the
boot-phase or when it even passed that it would lock up during starting
xdm.

I had it lock up my system completely during PCI-probing once (before
detecting vga0), during network configuration ... hostname, ifconfig or
starting of network services like samba e.g.
