The first problem is in if_bge.c. Revision 1.7 breaks the driver. With 
this
revision the card can't communicate at all with anything.
Interesting, what does your pciconf -lv show ? It works fine for the 
card here
I've got which is an older prism 2. Anyway for the time being I backed 
out
the change as I'll round up a stack of cards tomorrow and do a little 
more
testing.
Second problem. I'm not sure when this started happening, but it was 
recently.
Just do a /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/java -version (assuming 
you have it
installed) and watch it hang taking up 100% cpu. The cpu it's taking 
is listed
as "system" in top though, and this command used to work fine (need it 
to build
native java 1.4.1 and openoffice).
Hum, the openoffice build is funny. It requires that the sun jdk be 
installed for the
build process but does to actually run the jvm at anytime that matters. 
Hence
I was just able to install openoffice but I don't have the linux 
emulation package
installed.

-DR
