Unless you have a flakey network > it could be a flakey card. Ok...this is the scoop. I have a '486 PCI MB (ACER) with a genuine SMC ethernet card. The identical hardware (tested by swapping out hard disks).... 1) Works in FreeBSD 2.1.0R 2) Works in Linux 2.0.0 3) Doesnt work in FreeBSD 2.1.5R. The installation boot procedure (NFS) fails,and a system built on another machine finds but cannot use the de card. I think that the problem is that I dont get any interrupts. I got an "abnormal" interrupt a few times...but now I am not. Whats changed in 2.1.5? is it the de driver, or the PCI stuff?
