Subject:   Problem with AS600 and network card

I'm running STABLE at present on an AS600 (this is Squall for Drew).  It has 
two network cards, one that has a coaxial connector, the plug kind (AUI or 
something?) and a standard 10bt jack.  This card also has SCSI stuff on it 
(it's de0).  A second card is a digital (brand) NIC that is 10/100 and is 
de1.  

I had de0 disabled down, and de1 plugging directly into my wall jack (100bt). 
 Then, I got an old Netgear 4 port hub (10mbps only) and plug de1 into it.  
Even if de1 is the only thing plugged into the hub the collision light comes 
on.  If I plug my other FreeBSD computer into the hub, (and the hub uplinked 
to walljack), I can't access anything from either computer, or either 
computer from the internet.  (also as a sidenote, whenever dhclient was 
running, it was giving Unaligned access errors).

By switching the network connection to de0 all is well, the collision light 
goes off, and network access works.  

Any suggestions for why this is happening?  I'm upgrading Squall to CURRENT 
right now, and will try again once that's done.

thanks,
Scott Sipe
