If the de error messages always indicate teh same Ethernet address(es) and there are other systems in the network that don't evoke these same messages, then it is hard to point the finger at the de card. In my case, the error message always indicated the same Ethernet address. It turned out the RJ58 connector was crimped too hard, so that the metal contacts were recessed too much and didn't make a good connection when it was plugged in. The fault was mine because I made the [bad] cables in the first place :( Dan Eischen eischen@vigrid.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
