Martin, there's also a link to it from Jeremy's "Commonly Reported Issues" page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/JeremyChadwick/Commonly_reported_issues Look for "DOS-based EEPROM". Jack, is this issue the same one that is documented here? http://e1000.sourceforge.net/doku.php?id=known_issues#v_l_e_tx_unit_hang_messages ... and addressed by this script? http://e1000.sourceforge.net/doku.php?id=tx_unit_hang If so, the script could be used without booting from a DOS disk. If this is unrelated or is an unsafe way to apply this fix, that would be handy to know. Royce -- Royce D. Williams - http://royce.ws/ A finished person is a boring person. - Anna Quindlen
