Subject:   3c509 nic, kernel, resulting confusion???
Message-ID:  <00ab01c18fea$07c736e0$0400a8c0@terry>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm running 4.4 stable with a 3c509c nic, i've csvuped and went thru
buildworld, etc. with no errors and i've been trying to get it set up for
over a week now and i've not been successful.
I have a 56k frame with 16 ip#'s and a rh box connected to a cisco router
that's up and i'm trying to get my fbsd box hooked via the switch to it too
but it won't even ping 127.0.0.1
here's what i have set so far, maybe someone can help??

in etc/rc.conf i've added...
ifconfig_ep0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.67" netmask="255.255.255.240"
defaultrouter="xxx.xxx.xxx.65"

device ep0 isn't in /dev and i've tried to add it with
/dev/MAKEDEV ep0
but it says device not present

ifconfig -a gives me...
ep0: flags=8843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xxx.xxx.xxx.67 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.79
inet6 fe80::260:8f:fe20:1cca%ep0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ehter 00:60:08:20:1c:ca
media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP

netstat -rn gives me...
127.0.0.1                    127.0.0.1    UH    0    0    lo0
xxx.xxx.xxx.64/28    link#1              UC   1    0    ep0
Internet6 has these lines...
fe80::%ep0/64           link#1          UC      ep0
ff02::%ep0/32            link#1          UC      ep0

dmesg has...
ep0: <3com 3c509-combo etherlink III at port 0x210 irq 11 on isa0
ep0: <ethernet address 00:60:97:e1:6b:e0

etc/resolv.conf is...
127.0.0.1    localhost.xxxxx.com   localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.67  ns2.xxxxx.com    ns2
xxx.xxx.xxx.67  ns2.xxxxx.com.

etc/hosts is...
domain xxxxx.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.66  (my redhat dns)
nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.3 (my isp nameserver)


What am I doing wrong??? or What am I missing?
Needless to say, I'm new at this!  I was able to setup ppp with no problem
but this ethernet/nic thing has me stumped!

Thank You,
Terry Thomas
