The fellow who I wrote about in the 3C900 support PR actually saw some hangs with high network traffic on the "early revision adapter" that didn't happen with a 3C900 with the _exact same_ driver, except for adding one extra if statement to the match routine to correctly identify the 3C900. So clearly there is _some_ meaning to the warning. -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "To envision how a 4-processor system N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | running [SunOS] 4.1.x works, think of +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | four kids and one bathroom."
