Hi, I got some new Intel 10/100Mbps network interfaces recently, but unfortunately found that FreeBSD (version 4.0-19990827-CURRENT) doesn't recognize them. These are called the "Intel InBusiness 10/100 PCI Network Adaptor". Unfortunately, these are the only ones supported in the stores now, so I can't find the older 10/100+ and 10/100B kind. After looking at the boot messages, I found that these cards have a device_id of 0x1030 - which is different than the one supported by the fxp driver in FreeBSD (0x1229 - defined in /sys/pci/if_fxpreg.h as FXP_DEVICEID_i82557). I changed the driver (fxp_probe() function in /sys/pci/if_fxp.c) to also recognize the device_id 0x1030. The cards now work, but I haven't stress tested them for performance. Can someone tell me if the fxp driver is compatible with these cards (at least it seems to work). If so, it'll be nice if the future releases of the driver also support this card. - Mohit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
