(it also happened with 386bsd).. After running happily for 6 months, our FreeBSD (1.1.5.1-R) machine has started popping up messages on the console.. (this also happened with 386bsd previously) ed1: NIC Memory corrupt - invalid packet length 19969 (and other sizes) On bootup, the messages say: ed1: failed to clear shared memory at d8000 - check configuration ed1: at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 msize 8192 on isa The card is a standard Novell NE2000 - It HAS been working fine.. Any idea what the problem is??
