I choose these cards to be able to speed up my network at 100Mbps I also bought a 3com dual speed hub, to be able to connect old machines at 10Mbps, and a plain 100Mbps 3com hub. When I use the dual speed hub, or the plain 100Mbps hub, The de driver autodetection seems OK, but at 100Mbps, the TX led of the board stays lit, and no communication seems to occur. The Hubs are OK because other machines (Compaq too) running NT do communicate together well. The use of ifconfig media and media-opt didn't solve the problem very much. I could obtain communications at 100Mbps, but with ping I had a 10% lost packets. But it seems that the requested options are not set-up in most cases. I couldn't try configuring with the dos utility since bringing this machine down brings the whole network down too (that's why I choose FreeBSD ! :-) Did anyone used these cards successfully at 100Mbps, and preferably with 3Com dual speed hub ( a friend of mine told me that he didn't like them because the switching engine was faulty ) ? If it worked properly, how ? Regards Fabrice Segura PS: Release notes for 2.2.7 said the compaq NetFlex 3 boards were supported. Where is the driver ? ------ =_NextPart_000_01BDE0A5.39451830 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+IjAMAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQWAAwAOAAAAzgcJAA8ADgAiACYAAgBFAQEggAMADgAAAM4HCQAP AA4AIgAvAAIATgEBCYABACEAAAA2ODBCN0QyQUNBNEJEMjExODEyQTAwODA1RjVDODNGMAAYBwEE gAEAZQAAAFNNQyA5MzM0QkRUIGRvbid0IHdvcmsgYXQgYWxsIGF0IDEwME1icHMsIGFuZCBkb24n dCB3b3JrIHByb3Blcmx5IGF0IDEwTWJwcyBvbiBhIDNDb20gRHVhbCBTcGVlZCBIdWIA/h8BDYAE AAIAAAACAAIAAQOQBgDMCQAALQAAAAMAAYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAFKFAAB0EAAAHgAC gAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAVIUAAAEAAAAFAAAAOC4wMgAAAAADAAOACCAGAAAAAADAAAAA AAAARgAAAAABhQAAAAAAAAsABIAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAAOFAAAAAAAACwAFgAggBgAA AAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAADoUAAAAAAAADAAaACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAQhQAAAAAAAAMA B4AIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABGFAAAAAAAAAwAIgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAGIUA AAAAAAAeAAmACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAA2hQAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgAKgAggBgAAAAAA wAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAN4UAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAB4AC4AIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADiFAAAB AAAAAQAAAAAAAAACAQkQAQAAAAAEAAD8AwAA2wUAAExaRnX0XsKmAwAKAHJjcGcxMjXSMgD7MzYB 6CACpAPjCQIAY2gKwHNldDCWIAcTAoB9CoF1YwBQ6wsDC2BuDhAwDzALpwqxMQqASGksE6QTpEkg QRDgdmUgYSAIUG0BCrBxIDg1MFIgzQDBaAuAFUBmaQJACYACIAPwdGggdHdvAQYATUMgOTMzNDBC RFQgBuALEXMs7xdwEOAFQBTwdREQFrAFsSsWwAlwdwdAbAuAZyCScAhwcG8REHMuFJa9ENBvGvEY 8QeQFUBjGKJ7F3AXoGIVQQJgHBEXoHMmcAngFxB1cBYweSBzFpAXgXJrFVAFQBLgMLhNYnAQoBSl B0BzHQFZCGBnaAVAFWAzBaBtGCBkdQdAHcVodWLXGOEdCwWgbhaQYwVABvD/FxAWRQQgHxMfchjg AHAXEH8VYAtTHzYhBCIRGzUTpFf/HEADoBlUHDEhXwWxKIIlrH0iE1QokiihBRAVMAXAYd51HPAB ABbwI5BpAiAdwKUJ4G0EIE9LGOBiLFDHHwkY4hVAVFggHXAXELxvZihzGIMdwAGQeQQgFRpgdCUk biMibW11jwMAHJAs2Rzxb2NjCHD7GzUrYkgiICRxCXAtcR0RuxyQGXJvHDEFwCQHKBWF4Rzwbykg cjGgAwAagdpOGGBkMUodgmcRIDUy/HdlGlAnCytiNNMvgAaQ7yNBFsAakAeAZAcwJTM7U4wtbwUx O3BkbicFQP0gUGwVMSnzA2AdYSFALAG3HnAxkBDQLhlBBaB1I9H/PcABkCXRMWskdSTVLcIXM95w GnIU8iViEuAlLyAa8DMFQAqwY2sRIBsgIEK/LdEW0DI2GRIogglwcQpQfzBAL0IFMEBkNDExMERC dP4tHjEl0QRgQzEckBsCPsb9PMJ0PkE65AhxGoEXNCiSPxrwGWAs0DChHnAAkG5jfy/BSbIachdQ BAAWNzeAd+8DoEuzRKIVQHcb0B1xHpbvTRM2gTXwGQInBCBOEB5wBRunRgnRQlNEICHQIDotKRQ6 RDygJTHeeQIgOjMXEBw6cxIQS4D1BBBmPxBsHnAuCiVCPaDfARAEkB1RHnAXMzMVgSi9vzXwFVED UAiQJVEvcW0Wgv8c8CPSHBIZISiSPKQaYEOQ3xwiIUA0liiCA+F0FmIakL8J8EvxTfFH8BawLEBs SyH9NrA/GUA6oUGRHtEXAT2hvR3gclTAGOAb0AfgPxQ62FJlZxiiFDpGAaAFEBdLgQZgSZFhFDpQ Uzp7B/A5EGVH8UaiB5EZsjL6LmTgNx3AC3BTQzFSFbLpB8B0Rh1weCEAGHU48fs0MVQgcBrgACAJ gD6wJ9G/NDFMYSiDK+Rf6xHRAGqgAwAmAAAAAAADADYAAAAAAAsAAgABAAAAHgBwAAEAAABlAAAA U01DIDkzMzRCRFQgZG9uJ3Qgd29yayBhdCBhbGwgYXQgMTAwTWJwcywgYW5kIGRvbid0IHdvcmsg cHJvcGVybHkgYXQgMTBNYnBzIG9uIGEgM0NvbSBEdWFsIFNwZWVkIEh1YgAAAAACAXEAAQAAABYA AAABveClRqROR784S/IR0r7vAIBfqW5gAABAADkAYFftM6XgvQEDAPE/DAQAAB4AMUABAAAACAAA AEZTRUdVUkEAAwAaQAAAAAAeADBAAQAAAAgAAABGU0VHVVJBAAMAGUAAAAAAAwD9P+QEAAADAIAQ /////wIBRwABAAAALgAAAGM9RlI7YT0gO3A9U0pUO2w9TVVMVElNRURJQS05ODA5MTUxMjM0Mzha LTQwMwAAAAIB+T8BAAAATgAAAAAAAADcp0DIwEIQGrS5CAArL+GCAQAAAAAAAAAvTz1TSlQvT1U9 U0pUX01VTFRJTUVESUEvQ049UkVDSVBJRU5UUy9DTj1GU0VHVVJBAAAAHgD4PwEAAAAPAAAARmFi cmljZSBTZWd1cmEAAB4AOEABAAAACAAAAEZTRUdVUkEAAgH7PwEAAABOAAAAAAAAANynQMjAQhAa tLkIACsv4YIBAAAAAAAAAC9PPVNKVC9PVT1TSlRfTVVMVElNRURJQS9DTj1SRUNJUElFTlRTL0NO PUZTRUdVUkEAAAAeAPo/AQAAAA8AAABGYWJyaWNlIFNlZ3VyYQAAHgA5QAEAAAAIAAAARlNFR1VS QQBAAAcwoJykTqHgvQFAAAgwMBhFOaXgvQEeAD0AAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgAdDgEAAABlAAAAU01D IDkzMzRCRFQgZG9uJ3Qgd29yayBhdCBhbGwgYXQgMTAwTWJwcywgYW5kIGRvbid0IHdvcmsgcHJv cGVybHkgYXQgMTBNYnBzIG9uIGEgM0NvbSBEdWFsIFNwZWVkIEh1YgAAAAAeADUQAQAAAD8AAAA8 MzYyMjc2QjhFRkNBRDExMTgwRUQwMDgwNUY1QzgzRjAzQkEzQG11bHRpbWVkaWEucHJvc29kaWUu Y29tPgAACwApAAAAAAALACMAAAAAAAMABhDToohsAwAHEAUEAAADABAQAAAAAAMAERAAAAAAHgAI EAEAAABlAAAASEksSUhBVkVBQ09NUEFRODUwUk1BQ0hJTkVGSVRURURXSVRIVFdPU01DOTMzNEJE VEJPQVJEUyxUSEFUSVVTRUZPUkZJUkVXQUxMSU5HUFVSUE9TRVNJQ0hPT1NFVEhFU0VDQQAAAAAC AX8AAQAAAD8AAAA8MzYyMjc2QjhFRkNBRDExMTgwRUQwMDgwNUY1QzgzRjAzQkEzQG11bHRpbWVk aWEucHJvc29kaWUuY29tPgAAF14= ------ =_NextPart_000_01BDE0A5.39451830-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
