Hello

I am having a problem where the system runs very slowly if my ethernet card
is enabled, but otherwise runs very fast. I am using the 3Com 3cSOHO100-TX
OfficeConnect with the xl driver. Someone suggested that it was an irq
conflct, but I fixed that by changing the kernel settings and recompiling
the kernel. It appears to have made no difference. I noticed that when the
computer boots, the kernel reports the correct settings for the NIC, and it
also eports an unknown card on the same IRQ. This is my IEEE 1394 card.
Might this be causing conflicts even though its not enabled? Here's the
output of dmesg:

I also have a modem that FreeBSD doesn't recognize, but I don't think that
this is causing a problem because when I removed it from the computer it
didn't make a difference. Unfounately, I can't do this with the IEEE 1394
card because it's part of my motherboard.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Jesse Gross
