The NIC has two UTP connectors, one labelled "10" the other (surprise! :-)) "100". This machine is connected to a 10baseT UTP hub. The "10" connector does not work at all. Whether connected to the hub or not the link never comes up. Only the link LED near the connector is lit, but it has no effect. Maybe the "10" connector is tied to the serial interface while the "100" connector uses MII? The "100" connector works - even with the 10baseT hub. (Parallel flood pings result in a few packet losses but no errors.) But the NIC gets a decent link *only* if during probing the UTP is *not* (!) connected. In that case it says: pcn0: port 0xf8e0-0xf8ff mem 0xfedfb800-0xfedfb81f irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0 pcn0: Ethernet address: 00:60:b0:f3:6b:b7 miibus0: on pcn0 nsphy0: on miibus0 nsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto however if the port remains connected during boot the last line reads nsphy0: no media present This is rather odd. The system is a quite recent FreeBSD 4.2-BETA #0: Thu Nov 16 05:19:57 CET 2000 Helge To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
