okay... I've attempted to upgrade to 1.5_ALPHA. Everytime previous, I've
booted a GENERIC kernel and tested the card from there. I've just found
out that INSTALL kernels don't work at _all_ with the fxp nsphy. I've
tried the 20000713 and 20000620 boot floppies. Nothing. This is setting
ifconfig to each media/mediaopt combination, and the same for the
switch. And the card detects in kern/msgbuf. Without INSTALL, I can't
upgrade, period. (and the beginning of the school year gets ever
closer...)
Suggestions, ideas?
