Hi,
	I'm using the latest available snapshot (4.0-19990808-CURRENT) for
an Alphaserver 500 workstation. Unfortunately, this version of FreeBSD 
panics upon seeing an fxp network interface. Does anyone have an updated driver
for the Alpha that supports the fxp interface ?

There is also a "de" interface on the Alpha that works with FreeBSD but the
performance is rather dismal. A webserver running on the machine gives only
120 req/s on this machine (as opposed to 800 req/s on a Pentium III). Moreover,
most of the time the OS shows that its idle - looks like the problem lies in
the "de" driver. An updated de driver would also be appreciated.
