I have the same cards (even revision models) in two win boxen and they work fine. 10baseT works but not 100baseT. With a normal NIC config, without explicitly setting the media to 10baseT, it will autosense as 100BaseT @ full-duplex, showing active. However I can't ping any IP. My switch indicates that the port is not active either. If a 10baseT config, the switch will recognise that it's running at half-duplex and all seems well. I've read posts here that changes in stable may have affected this, but I'm still running a 4.9-RELEASE system. If anyone has any hints to why this is happening please E-mail me. Please CC directly since I'm not subscribed to this list. Thank you, - Will Here are my system details: > uname -a FreeBSD epoch.anime.ca 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0: Mon Sep 15 01:47:21 EDT 2003 root@epoch.anime.ca:/usr/src/sys/compile/EPOCH i386 dmesg: rl0: port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 0xe6000000-0xe60000ff irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 rl0: Ethernet address: 00:40:05:87:27:cd miibus0: on rl0 rlphy0: on miibus0 rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
