Hm. I'm running out of ideas. I still think it could be the polling, but I'm not certain how to test this theory. One way to do it would be to comment out all of the contents of the vr_tick() routine, and then manually set the media with ifconfig. If the problem persists after you do that, then it has to be something else, which would really tick me off since I have no idea what it could be. Of course if it turns out it is the polling, then I'll still be mad since I'm not sure how to fix it. Anyway, if you can try that, I would appreciate it. I'll have to see if I can think up a better way to debug this. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
