You can enable more efficient transfer modes > if you controller supports them. I normally use 'flags 0xc0ffc0ff'. I tried that. And then I reliased that I had the 3.2 sources on the machine, but a 3.2PAO binary install. So rebooting with the new kernel lost me my networking :-( So, I've decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to 4-stable[1]. Of course, now I won't know which change fixed the problem :-( N [1] I cheated. "buildworld" on one machine, then NFS mount / and /usr from the laptop and "installworld" on to it. Some tweaking of /dev and the installation of a new kernel later and you're done, without running the risk of rebooting with a conflicting world/kernel. -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month.
