I have a 3c905B-TX in the one of the systems I am using. The was a problem when I installed it with getting the ifconfig_xl0 right. I had to use both the "media" and "mediaopt" options to get it to run 100baseTX and full-duplex. The settings in my rc.conf are ifconfig_xl0="inet 169.254.0.4 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex netmask 255.255.255.0" network_interfaces="xl0 lo0" The output from dmesg is xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xe400-0xe47f mem 0xe2000000-0xe200007f irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:4b:6c:c1:07 miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0 > > What should I do? Tips needed! You might show us your rc.conf and appropriate lines from dmesg and then someone may have an idea.
