IRQ 11 here..,

IRQ 11 here as well :-(

Both ed1 & dc0 are sharing IRQ11, not always a good thing..,

Most MoBo's have an option in the SetUp menu (you know.., "press DEL for
SETUP", during POST), where you tell the BIOS whether or not a P'nP OS
is being installed - for FreeBSD, one usually selects "No" / "DISABLE"
to this.

Well., when putting an interface into promiscuous mode, you're then
enabling the bpf (Berkley Packet Filter) device.., which might point to
ed1 (on IRQ11) now having to contend with yet another device for IRQ
resources.., Just a guess here.

It'd be great to hear what results you get.., Hope to hear from you on
this again soon.
