Hello,
I had the aame problem of yours with the 3COM509B
and I had to change the card. Seems like it is due to a buggy driver.
I also experienced the same problem on Solaris 7 x86.
I Suggest oyou to buy a cheaper but tested card like a DNET (DEC card) or
a NE2000 PCI.
I Als oexperienced this problem only wit ISA cards on FreeBSD.
Your card is PCI or ISA ?

Rick
