Netra T1 105 hme0 woes ?

Hello Marius,

Ok I see that is confirm what I was thinking :) Thanks about this 
details. :)

Works like a charm and solved all my problems :)

Here is a snippet of dmesg :

Note I use FreeBSD 5.3-RC1... does this patch will be added to 
5.3-RELEASE ?

Many thanks Marius about that patch :)
