I recently upgraded one of my server machines from FreeBSD 2.2.1 (with a
2.2.2 kernel and a few other patches.) The card holds an SMC EtherPower
card described by dmesg as the following:
FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE #0: Sat Nov 1 14:32:43 EST 1997
robert@cyrus.watson.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/FLEDGE
CPU: Pentium (119.75-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x525 Stepping=5
Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8>
real memory = 100663296 (98304K bytes)
...
de0 <Digital 21041 Ethernet> rev 33 int a irq 9 on pci0:14
de0: SMC 21041 [10Mb/s] pass 2.1
de0: address 00:e0:29:0e:b6:dd
de0: enabling 10baseT port
Since the upgrade, we've been getting a fair number of the following
message:
de0: receive: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: bad crc
de0: receive: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: bad crc
de0: receive: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: bad crc
de0: receive: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: bad crc
de0: receive: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: bad crc
de0: receive: 00:60:97:61:ba:39: bad crc
de0: receive: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: bad crc
de0: receive: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff: bad crc
Mostly on the broadcast address. None of the other BSD machines on the
network are giving this error. While it's possible that the card has gone
bad, the timeliness of the new error with regards to the stable upgrade is
convenient :). Does anyone have a pointers, or suggestions as to a cause?
I have not been following changes to the de driver.
