In fact, the PC's are backed up nightly through the cards via NFS. One of the machines is running an EISA (3c579) version of the card and one of the PC's even runs two cards: ep0 at isa0 port 0x350-0x35f irq 7: aui/bnc/utp address 00:60:8c:f1:6a:e2 ep1 at isa0 port 0x300-0x30f irq 10: aui/bnc/utp address 00:60:8c:f1:6a:ec We use various combinations of AUI, BNC, and UTP. If you're having a problem with the driver I would suggest the problem lies with FreeBSD or the card, and not with the driver itself. -- hpeyerl@novatel.ca | NovAtel Commnications Ltd. hpeyerl@fsa.ca | <nothing I say matters anyway> "A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you to slow down."
