Re: NetBSD seems to have destroyed my NIC

Manuel,


I was thinking about what hapenned...

I tested this NIC with a GENERIC kernel before and this problem didn't  
happen, I think. I am not sure, but I think I booted the GENERIC  
kernel half a dozen times with the NIC installed.

When I installed a custom kernel (that I compiled with only the  
necessary drivers), the card was destroyed.

I am gonna search the port-i386 archives again or subscribe and ask...

Thanks for the reply!


Cheers,
Flavio
