Hello. I've found another problem of my DEC CELEBRIS GL 5133ST. My
PC can just transfer IP packets at only 5KB/sec via the bulit-in
Ethernet card(Digital DC21040). Too SLOOOOW. It should be more that 
100KB/sec.

This means that it takes half a day to do FTP installation of
FreeBSD 2.1.5.

As for the kernel installation, no IRQ conflicts are found.
If you know what to do, please let me know of it!

My environments are as follows:
