(note: it actually says “CGIF” not “CFIG” FLAGS — a typo) It looks very likely that the fxp driver on the CD is too old for both the on-board NIC and the card. The next step is to find an older NIC card and try again. One site took the network card out of the previous LOCKSS box and put it in the new machine. There is always going to be some possibility when using brand-new hardware that it is ahead of the OpenBSD drivers.
