The FreeBSD is 2.2.5 from CD-ROM together with the PAO-ready boot-diskette. The pccardd(8) runs fine and attaches the pluged in cards to the driver (e.g. assigns the IRQ and I/O window). The interface is configured and up but there is some problem with it. IP packages on the network are not quickly and/or reliable delivered to the TCP modules. If I telnet from the FreeBSD box (193.31.10.40) to some host on the same network, directly sitting on the same table (193.31.10.39) it takes up to 10 seconds until the echo of a pressed key arrives in the telnet client. I checked it with tcpdump(1M) running on some other host in the same network and as you can see the IP pkgs leaves the FreeBSD host correctly and the other hosts IP answers quickly with ACK which is not delivered to the right place in the FreeBSD kernel: 17:13:46.98 193.31.10.40.1024 > 193.31.10.39.23: P 43:45(2) ack 94 win 16384 (DF) [tos 0x10] 17:13:46.99 193.31.10.39.23 > 193.31.10.40.1024: P 94:96(2) ack 45 win 4096 17:13:49.66 193.31.10.39.23 > 193.31.10.40.1024: P 94:103(9) ack 45 win 4096 17:13:52.53 193.31.10.40.1024 > 193.31.10.39.23: P 43:45(2) ack 94 win 16384 (DF) [tos 0x10] Attached below are also the output of ifconfig(8) and netstat(1). I have seen such delays on other systems where entries in the /etc/hosts were missing -- but I'm clueless here on FreeBSD. I can't imagine that there is a trouble with the hardware because the Linux repair kernel (booted from a CD-ROM) configures the PCMCIA card bridge and the 3c589D out of the box and telnet just runs fine. I don't want to go with Linux but I also can't run FreeBSD without network support. Thanks in advance for any hint. matthias # ifconfig ep0 ep0: flags=a843 mtu 1500 inet 193.31.10.40 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast 193.31.10.63 ether 00:60:08:90:7d:fb # netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 193.31.10.58 UGSc 0 0 ep0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 24 lo0 193.31.10.32/27 link#5 UC 0 0 193.31.10.39 0:0:c0:cb:2c:1c UHLW 0 15 ep0 74 193.31.10.58 link#5 UHLW 1 0 # -- firm: matthias.apitz@sisis.de [voc:+49-89-61308-351, fax: +49-89-61308-188] priv: guru@thias.muc.de PGP: Key fingerprint = 0C 01 F2 23 EC 17 A2 D5 46 2D 29 4C 0E 8B 7E 8F URL: http://www.sisis.de/~guru/ http://www.muc.de/~thias/ from USENET: People who run servers understand that flashy interactive interfaces have nothing to do with the underlying functionality and often get in the way.
