I can't test anything without an ISO -- the system in question is truly
"bare-bones" (no hard disk, can't boot USB memsticks, etc.). I'm not a
good test subject for changes on this one, I'm sorry to say. :-(
If there's some way to disable flow-control negotiation in fxp(4) or
miibus(4) via loader, I can try that, but I don't know what the MIB
name would be.
<ignore me, I'm just pissed off>
If r247336 turns out to be the cause: ironic, as r247336 references PR
166656, which was tested against -- wait for it -- xl(4).
People in *this* thread are saying "screw legacy hardware" yet the PR is
for something as old as the 3C905B? Maybe I should bow out of this
thread before I have an aneurysm.
