(sorry for the cross posting) after some more - and long - testing this is what i have:
if the card is 'virgin' - no pxe, flash memory 'empty', all seems ok, dhclient works ok. if i enable PXE, running it as diskless is fine (i don't need dhclient). but if i boot of the disk and use dhclient, then it does not work - arp requests are sent and replies come back, but never make it. if i just ifconfig em0 ip.addr then all is ok. using an older if_em ver 1.1.10, dhclient works fine. btw, after the card has been pxe enabled, disabling the flash memory does not help, i can't get it back to work as it did in 'virgin' mode. one more thing, one 'virgin' card is causing panic with bad ram. hope this helps, danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
