I'm not sure this is a kernel issue. I re-installed 8.3Release p8 (have to get work done!) and then installed a 8.4 Prerelease kernel (I'm still running cvsup, going to svn is a number of crisis problems down from the list of things to fix today). Booted with the 8.4 Prerelease kernel but using the 8.3R p8 world - no problems with fxp0. I've tried that twice, same results. This suggests to me that the problem may not be in 8.4 at all, but in some weirdness of my setup. The motherboard is old; it's one of the Supermicro Xeon boards using the Serverworks chipset which they had to produce when the Intel support chipset turned out to be buggy, which is a number of years ago. I have another box at work which I will set up as my NAT box (the system in question is my NAT box) from scratch with 8.4 and then take the current box off-line, and then reinstall 8.4 from scratch on that system. When that is done I'll report. This probably won't happen until later this week, Friday. No issues with 8.4 with the other two systems at home, one a Tyan S4882 and the other a Tyan S2882.
