Hi all,

I've tried both the on-board and two PCI network adapters listed in the Install Notes for 1.6 as supported. None of them work.

Can anybody tell me of a card that _does_ work?


I'm running on a Apple Network Server 700. Here are the ones I've had no luck with:

on-board                   mc(4)    chip-resets constantly
Apple PCI Ethernet Card    tlp(4)   NetBSD hangs on executing 'ifconfig -a'
Netgear FA-311             sip(4)   once configured, I get 'parity error' messages faster than I can count


All help / suggestions are appreciated.

Daniel
