I first tried with the "official" Alteon firmware source version 12.4.13 (the last one) in vain, then saw in the src/sys/pci/if_ti.c changelog, that you are in fact using a _modified_ version of 12.4.11 : ti_fw2.h: 12.4.11 firmware, plus selected fixes from 12.4.13, and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13 doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously, with the addition of header splitting support.) So I tried anyways with standard Alteon firmware source version 12.4.11, but it didn't work, just as with 12.4.13. I get this sort of console messages whenever I try to use the network (tune ifconfig, ping a machine, start sshd, etc...): ti0: watchdog timeout -- resetting ti0: loading firmware sometimes repeatedly. I am not yelling as if it were a bug, because it's my fault : i personnaly modified the kernel. No, I'm asking you if you please could send me the tigon2 firmware source you guys are using to generate src/sys/pci/ti_fw2.h and if possible, the genfw.c tool which does generate it, since i warily use a similar script (genfw.pl) originally made for Red Hat, which I ported to FreeBSD.
