FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #0: Mon Nov 8 00:25:16 MST 1999
(yeah I know I'm behind)
Nope, the LinkSys (LNE100TX v2.0) cards work fine (mx#) I'm using two of them
in my
BSD box:
Cablemodem NIC:
- ---------------
mx0: <LC82C115 PNIC II 10/100BaseTX> rev 0x25 int a irq 12 on pci0.9.0
mx0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:32:eb:7c
mx0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 10Mbps)
LAN NIC:
- --------
mx1: <LC82C115 PNIC II 10/100BaseTX> rev 0x25 int a irq 10 on pci0.13.0
mx1: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:32:eb:80
mx1: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps)
just added the mx0 driver to my kernel config. Also, make sure the
pnp0 and the pci0:
controller pci0
controller pnp0
device mx0
also make sure you have:
pseudo-device ether
pseudo-device bpfilter 4 (optional)
options INET
my setup for my cards in /etc/rc.conf:
network_interfaces="mx0 mx1 lo0"
ifconfig_mx0="DHCP" (auto-assigned ip#)
ifconfig_mx1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
when all is said and done you should see something like (ifconfig -a):
mx0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast x.x.x.255
ether 00:a0:cc:32:eb:7c
media: 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX <full-duplex>
100baseTX <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>
10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>
mx1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:a0:cc:32:eb:80
media: 100baseTX <full-duplex>
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX <full-duplex>
100baseTX <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>
10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>
hope that helps ya...
