I mentioned another similar card in my last posting. That one I got from a faculty member (he's Alan Cox - also works on FreeBSD). That card is very similar (in looks and performance) to the one that I got but has the device ID of 0x1229 (same as 10/100B). Additionally, Alan mentioned that some small additional chips on it are supposed to do some kind of network mgmnt - I believe that was the Wake-on-LAN feature. The card that I have, however, is similar, but has a different PCI device_Id - 0x1030. So you're probably right in that the chip doesn't correlate with the ID number. > In this case I'd recommend changing the above defines to "FXP_DEVICE_ID_1" > and "FXP_DEVICE_ID_2" respectively.

Its 0x1030 - not 0x1230. I've tried it only in full-duplex and it works fine (except for the truncated IP packets that I mailed about). My /etc/rc.conf has "media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" for the ifconfig command. I was able to get about 77 Mbps on a 100Mbps LAN with this card. With the older ones, I can get about 93 Mbps (which is the maximum if packet headers are taken into account). The difference in performance is probably due to the truncated IP packets I mentioned. I can try other settings on this card if you can tell me which ones you're interested in. - Mohit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
