Hi, Short version: HELP! 4.1.1-RELEASE doesn't like my REM56G-100! Long version: I've been using an REM56G-100 for several months without problems (well, after I got it to work that is ;) on a libretto 100ct running 4.0-STABLE (built mid-july or thereabouts I think) Yesterday I nuked it and installed 4.1.1-RELEASE over PPP using an external ISDN TA connected to the built-in serial. After installation finished, I tried in vain for several hours to get the xircom to work. It just doesn't seem to like large packets. I slept on it, tried again today, tried various IRQs, but nothing came out of it. Regular pings work fine, telnet sessions are ok as long as you don't try to push lots of data (like du / or something). It behaves similarly as a modem too, when the flow builds up it stops working. I'm confused. Anything that pushes a lot of data tends to hang, ie ftp, nfs etc, however if I ping while an nfs or ftp session is dead replies come back fine. A ping -s 8000 -f shows about 9% ploss, fyi. Unfortunately I only installed bin since I was planning to installworld over nfs from another box, so I can't try a lot of things as it is. Typically an ftp will stall at about 10-20KB. I was wondering if there is ANYONE out there using this card with 4.1.1, and if there is, I'd like to know whatever it is they did to get it to work! I could post a dmesg etc., but there's no point since everything is normal and looks just like before, so I won't bother unless someone thinks it might be useful. Looking at the cvsweb, not much changed recently regarding the xe driver, but I do not follow freebsd development close lately so I don't have a clue what else might have broken it. Any ideas?
