I don't have a pointer to the discussion, but the outcome was that there were problems with the driver reading larger SEEPROMs that Intel started using on newer cards, which caused the initialization to go wrong in the driver. It is fixed in current, 4.x-stable, and 3.x-stable as of about April 2nd. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
