It may experience transmit-side 123errors when modern faster cpus send packets at it faster than it can handle. 124The driver (and probably the chip) does not support an all multicast mode. 125As a result, it can be used with applications like mrouted(8), but 126it must go into promiscuous mode for that to work. The driver 127is slow to change modes from "normal" to promiscuous mode, presumably 128due to delays in the configuration code. 129.Sh SEE ALSO | 32.Dd July 7, 1997 33.Dt WL 4 i386 34.Os FreeBSD 35.Sh NAME 36.Nm wl 37.Nd T1 speed ISA/radio lan card 38.Sh SYNOPSIS 39.Cd "device wl0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 vector wlintr" --- 82 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 122The 82586 has numerous defects.
