Hi all! Did try questions, without any reply, so I'm trying here... I have a friend who decided to try FreeBSD 4.6.2 and it works just fine except one thing, his connection to the internet. He has a sis network card, which is compiled into the kernel, with miibus that is required. He gets a connection just fine, for about half a minute, then it doesn't work anymore, with long periods of "wait" time. A ping to an address works perfectly after a reboot, next minute a ping to the same address does not work. Also, issuing kldstat, the miibus is there, which it should not, as it's compiled into the kernel. If I recall correct, it's not there when it's first working, but later it is, when not working. There is also an arp message, that looks as if some change of MAC- address has taken place, which seem to be strange. One last thing, ifconfig says the sis is using full-duplex. Is that ok, if maybe not the other side can handle full-duplex? I can provide more information if needed to help me solve this pro- blem, so that he can start using FreeBSD full time. Thanks in advance for any reply! Best regards, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
