Folks,

I have just installed FreeBSD 2.1.5 and am very unhappy.  For some reason my
3C509 Combo card or the netwoking in general, simply quits.  Everything
starts out fine but if I try to ftp anything bigger than a few bytes, the
networking craps out.  Ftp dies and telnet, ping, etc.  stop working.  There
are no error messages and all the daemons seem to be running. Only a reboot
fixes it.  All the same stuff I use with 2.1 is in the 2.1.5 kernel.  It's
very perplexing

This card in this same machine will run:

Win 3.1x
Win NT 3.51
Win NT 4.0
Win95
FreeBSD 2.1.0

But *NOT* 2.1.5

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Craig
