That sounds like a good idea...
But for me I found this is usually related to the USB settings...

If the new bios doesnt work you may need to make/get a custom install
kernel...

Good Luck!

Yeah this most defiantly sounds like an incorrect media or duplex
setting... I wouldnt use the NIC the cable company gave you since
its most probably a pile of crap... They basically never have any 
hardware features, and I have had them just die on me of there own 
will...

The reason it probably works in windows, is because you have the
driver from the cable company installed for it with the correct
settings set...

Anyway Good Luck!
Kal.

Re: don't know how to make linux_file.c

Kris,

The problem turned out to be some old remnant bits.  After trying for two 
days to figure out what could be the problem, I decided to wipe /usr/src, 
/usr/sup, and /usr/obj.  Then I did a cvsup and buildworld.  After that 
making GENERIC worked perfectly no errors.

I does work. I built -stable on a config like that last week.
