This is also my first run on some new hardware with AMD's cpu and MSI's mainboard. At first, I expected to have no problem with my on-board NIC. It is detected under the dc(4) driver and configures normally. I can ping other nodes from this machine. I can resolve DNS queries and traceroute out past my router. However, I can't ping the FreeBSD machine or open any tcp connections to it. Another strange thing is that the hardware address looks wrong. ARP tables on this machines and others show that it is using the MAC address 07:00:07:00:07:00 Another strange thing is that 'netstat -in' shows incrementing counters for incoming packets to the interface. It seems like a broken connection between layer 2 and listeners at layer 3. Configurations tested: Hardware: MSI Mainboard with on-board NIC and Duron 1300Mhz Mainboard model: MS-6378X-L VIA chipset NIC chipset: AN983B OS: FreeBSD Release 4.6.2 from 'ifconfig -a' dc0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.1.210 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 inet6 fe80::250:daff:fe0a:24ff%dc0 prefixlen 63 scopeid 0x1 ether 07:00:07:00:07:00 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active from 'dmesg' dc0: port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xd8001000-0xd80013ff irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 07:00:07:00:07:00 miibus0: on dc0 ukphy0: on miibus0 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto I would be willing to experiment with patches for a couple of days, before I move on to another NIC. I already tested a 3c9XX without any problems.
