I haven't done any testing with the 82562 and can't say whether it is compatible with the fxp driver. Is there any chance that you can plug a real Pro/100+ card into the machine and see if it exhibits the same problem? This would narrow down the problem to either a problem with the motherboard chipset or to the support of the 82562 in the fxp driver. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
