Description: When installing via network on a Compaq Deskpro with built-in TI TLan Ethernet, Ethernet setup does not detect a DHCP server (I have one) and manual setup does not work (fails silently, no packets seem to be sent.) This only occurs if the builtin TLan ethernet has the 100/TX upgrade module installed. Workaround: Remove the 100/TX module. Installation works fine without the module at 10 BT. Once the FreeBSD software is installed, the 100/TX module still will not initialize during boot (e.g. DHCP times-out), but manual setup with dhclient does work once in multi-user runlevel. To Reproduce: Attempt a network install with a Compaq Deskpro (in this case, a 6200) with built-in TLan 100/TX adapter. Note: I installed a 3Com 905B adapter in this machine and DHCP and manual network setup both worked perfectly with a network speed of 100 BT. This machine had run FreeBSD 4.4 Current earlier without incident using the TLan 100/TX module. I had not used it on a 100 BT network then though.
