I'm new to FreeBSD, for future reference should this type of question
appear on this list or -questions?  For the record I'm running FreeBSD
5.3-STABLE is that considered to be 5.3 or stable?

Thanks, the patch does apply properly but it doesn't seem to help the
problem.  I can still send data but not receive.  Am Installing the
patched drivers properly?  I did a cvsup, deleted all of /usr/obj/,
applied the patch, then followed the buildworld canonical instructions
from the handbook.  Is there a way to only build and install the
uplcom drivers?
