However, we have at least one industrial-type system (with a different board/config) that works fine with these cards, though we didn't do the install with one. I'll try that tomorrow and report my findings. Though the cards seem to work post-install, they fail in the install

We have a bunch of the Linksys EtherFast cards around here. They use the PNIC, which is a follow-on to (or clone of) the 21140 series, and Bill Paul's driver seems to perform quite well. Thanks, I'll look into that. The EtherExpress Pro is probably the most respected card around

Large data transfers seem to cause the lockup. I know at least 1 netbsd person has reported similar problems with these new cards, (kern/7216). Has anyone seen problems like these? Any ideas? Hmmm...I've been using them in some machines here and haven't seen any problems. Strange.
