Hi,

would you please be more specific about that last sentence ? i've always heard
from the FreeBSD
community (newsgroups, /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, ...) that the ep0 driver was
buggy. I've got
one 3C509 combo NIC in my home box, and it has been running now for 5 (which
could turn into much more if was able to remember exactly when i installed it :))
under various releases of FreeBSD without experiencing any problem whatsoever.

The board does not get a "real" load, as it is mostly used to connect some other
computers to the internet on my home network.

I'd like you to tell me why i should expect to get a bullet in the head if we
ever meet :-) Which will make you the most unfriendly guy (and for me, the last)
around :-)

Thanks ...
