I still get watchdog time-outs with the dc driver when I use a SMP kernel.
Hardware platform: Compaq DL360 with dual-cpus
NIC: D-Link's DFE570TX (4-port nic, chipset Intel 21143)

cvsup'd the src tree this morning(~2am CST), build a fresh world & kernels
and installed them.

When I use a non-smp kernel the dc driver & nic work fine.  

Initially reported to freebsd-stable.  You can view the original post at:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=252043+0+archive/2002/freebsd-stable/20020210.freebsd-stable

I tried using the de driver for the nic(apparently fbsd-3.x uses that driver
for those nics) but couldn't get any connectivity with either kernel(smp or
non-smp).

I'll try to find some time tonight to test the through-put of the D-Link
card and let you know if I see any other oddities.

Suggestions, comments, or ideas, please let me know.

Thanks,
  Greg
