That fixed it. For the archives, this particular xl (on a Dell mainboard) is not compatible with a Netgear DS-106 "dual-speed hub" at 100MB, at least using the driver that shipped with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. (I haven't tried other xl's, or other FreeBSD versions.) It does work with a Netgear FE-104 100-only hub. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
