The only thing I can say at the moment is that a cross-over cable between two fxp devices isn't a configuration that I test here. I did try to use them that way when I originally wrote the fxp driver a few years ago, but I couldn't get it to work reliably. When I asked the Intel NPD folks about this, their reply was "cross-over cables aren't supported with the Pro/100B". Gack. This was prior to when support for full duplex was added, and since then I've heard reports that cross-over cables worked okay. What is strange about your problem report is that there was *very* little change in the driver between 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 - nothing that should affect your machine, only support for properly detecting some newer cards. This leads me to think that the problem isn't in the device driver. So, I really have no idea... -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
