I'm sorry, I forgot this issue which was caused by my disk crash
happened in the end of Jan, 2009.
I've updated age(4) patch in the following URL.
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/age/age.diff

Please test the with
1. shutdown your box
2. remove power cable and wait 5 min.
3. unplug UTP cabble
4. boot and see whether age(4) does not lockup your box
5. plug UTP cable and see whether age(4) can send/receive traffics

And please do
1. reboot your box with UTP cable plugged in
2. check whether age(4) works

Please also see whether ethernet MAC address is correctly detected
in both cases.

Thanks for reminder.

I tried with the last commited version after updating src with no luck: still
hang on boot (actually it hangs when I kldload it, as I removed it from my
KERNCONF, so I can boot with the NIC enabled).
Then I applied your patch and, as with the previous one you asked me to try,
it's working.

I did the two tests exactly how you asked and everything seems fine.
The MAC address is correct in both cases.
The connection is working and I did some huge file transfer with ssh with
another pc with performance comparable with my rl0 (I think at the limits of a
100Mbps net, imposed by my router).

Here you can find my dmesg -a

If you have any other test I can do for you, please ask.

Do you have any idea if it will included it 7.2-RELEASE?

Thanks
