 Hey, I saw this post on
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-May/002982.html
 on Mon May 12 22:36:58 PDT 2003.  I am having problems with my nic
 card.  I also got the device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned
 6 exept, of course, mine was with the nic card - not the keyboard so
 the driver was dl0 not atkbd0.  Anyway the point is, did you fix this?
  Do you know what the message means and what causes it?  I'm just
  looking for somthing to point me in the right direction.  I've looked
  around and I haven't been able to find too many resources.  I hope
  you can give me some pointers, but if not don't worry.  Thanks for
  taking the time to read this.  
 

 I worked around this by manually setting (in BIOS) the IRQ for the PCI
slot that NIC was sitting on. Auto mode was giving the NIC IRQ 9 and I
set it manually to IRQ 10.

 group know that the world and kernel seem quite stable using the athlon-tbird

 Is that just a -CURRENT thing, I can't see anything like that in -STABLE's LINT.

 Hey gang, although Intel's document seems to claim that they tested
 proper operation of pause I'd like people with non-Intel processors
 to verify that it actually works.  Please compile the attached test

 If you get a signal or any of the other registers change their value,
 please let me know.  I've tested this on a Pentium III mobile, a
 K6-II, and an Athlon.  The program cmopiles ok on both stable and

 I recently had a similar problem. My switch (Netgear FS105) needs the
adaptor to *announce* itself as full duplex. Try turning OFF full-duplex
in your ifconfig and see if there is a speed-up.
