The problem is simple - it (actually 3 of them) do not work with BSD (the others sit in Windows machines). Now the details - 1) Chip used by the cards - DEC 21140-AE (yes, AE). 2) Manufacturer - Dlink 3) Symptoms: As soon as FreeBSD de driver finds the card during the boot, it evidently stops functioning - more precicely, the LED on the hub that indicates the link status goes blank while the leds on the card indicate everything being OK. If you send something out of the card (when pinging some computer for example) the led indicating receive/ transmission flashes. The cards do work in windows (both 3.11 and 95). Any helping hands?
