I did have a similar problem with 5.0rc2 and my 3cSOHO 100BaseTX NIC, but I had it coming up in <hw-loopback> state rather than any actual link state from Autodetect. My solution was to replace the NIC with a 10baseT NE2000-PCI cheapo, since the box in question was simply a firewall/router for 3Mbit DSL. --Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nikolaj Farrell" <nikk@home.se> To: <stacey@vickiandstacey.com> Cc: "FreeBSD Questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2003 7:58 PM Subject: Re: Problems w NIC > > Okay.., I see that there's no firewall support in the kernel.
