You need more than to just ifconfig you also need "options DEVICE_POLLING" in your kernel.
The evidence suggests that this is not the default: -=[/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf]=- -=[Wed May 30]=- -=[22:44:15]=- [EMAIL PROTECTED] grep POLLING GENERIC -=[/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf]=- -=[Wed May 30]=- -=[22:44:17]=- [EMAIL PROTECTED] grep POLLING LINT options DEVICE_POLLING Polling works very well. -Adam On May 30, 2007, at 6:22 AM, Florian Klemenz wrote: > Wednesday, May 30, 2007, 17:14, you wrote: > >> If I remember correctly, freebsd uses polling for the sis driver >> instead of interrupts.
