However, Jon Bresler sent me some patches when I was in > Tokyo that I haven't had a chance to look at. Ask him for them. :) the patches dont "do" combo cards. they let me get the network half of a 3com network/modem recognized and "configured". i say "configured" because there is an interrupt problem. i dont get any! epwatchdog fires and looks at the card but no interrupts, even if i request an interrupt upon completion of each transmitted packet. i can see the packets hit the wire. and once enough pings have been sent, i get a bunch of echo response packets....so once i get interrupts the network half of the card may just work ;) jmb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
