Several people have reported problems with if_dc botching autonegotiation on 21143 NICs with non-MII media, such as the DEC/Compaq DE500-BA and the built-in 10/100 ethernet on some alphas. As my first official act as a BSDi/WC employee, I sat down and tried to fix this. I produced some patches for if_dc.c/if_dcreg.h and dcphy.c, which are sitting at http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/dc_test. To apply them, do the following: # cd /sys/pci # patch < if_dc.patch # cd /sys/dev/mii # patch < dcphy.patch These patches should work on either 4.0-STABLE or 5.0-CURRENT. (They should also work on 4.0-RELEASE.) There are also some fixes for the Macronix 98713A/98715/98715A and the LC82C115 PNIC II, which also use the 21143-style NWAY interface. Note that I still need to add code to properly set the LEDs on 21143 boards. I went after the autoneg problem first since it was somewhat more pressing. In any event, please try these patches and report the results to wpaul@freebsd.org. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
