[KLUG Members] Quick openBSD question

[members@kalamazoolinux.org]

I managed to find out what to do. However, OpenBSD does *not* like the
hardware I've got in that box.

ASUS P5-A
300 MB or so of RAM
9 GB Fireball
2xNetgear fast ethernet NICs

...

Anyway, after about 4 minutes or so, of bridging, filtering, etc, it would
decide to stop working altogether, and not do anything.  Couldn't ping, be
pinged, etc.  Rebooting solved the problem for another 4 minutes.  I've found
other people on the 'net with the same problem, but with no conclusions at all.
 Oh, well.  Viva linux, I s'pose.  I'll find a way to bridge in linux.
