Hi all,
I've got a brand new LinkSys-EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V3)
for my laptop.I'm running FreeBSD-4.7 RELEASE.The card is recognized
correctly and configured with no trouble.
The problem is that the card works only at 10Mbit/s.
I've read the man page for ed(4), but didn't find a solution.
Here's the output from ifconfig:
# ifconfig ed1
ed1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:04:5a:99:be:d7
# ifconfig ed1 192.168.1.3 media 100baseTX ...(or media autoselect)
ifconfig: SIOCGIFMEDIA: Invalid argument
does this mean that the ed driver doesn't support 100baseTX on this card?
So I've tried another thing:
Booted MicroBSD from CD for a test:
here's what shows at boot:
ne3 at pcmcia1 function 0 "Linksys, EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (PCMPC100 V3), V2.0" port 0xa000/32: LAN iobase 0x240 (0xa000) -> 0x0
ne3: address 00:04:5a:99:be:d7
bmtphy0 at ne3 phy 1: BCM5221 100baseTX PHY, rev. 4
# ifconfig ne3
ne3: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:04:5a:99:be:d7
media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex
status: active
inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::204:5aff:fe99:bed7%ne3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x14
here it shows as 100baseTX full-duplex...but it works at 10Mbit/s again.
maybe this card works only at 10Mbit/s ?
thanx
george
