Hi All -

I just installed an Intel Pro card on a box that has an older 10Mb RealTe=
k=20
8029 card.  Booting up a 4.7-Generic the kernel sees everything, but the=20
system completely hangs when I try to ifconfig the fxp device up.  Here's=
=20
some details:

> dmesg|egrep -i "fxp|ed0"
fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xd400-0xd43f mem=20
0xeffa0000-0xeffbffff,0xeffde000-0xeffdefff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:d0:b7:85:19:a9
ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> port 0xd000-0xd01f irq 12 at de=
vice=20
11.0 on pci0
ed0: address 00:50:ba:a2:91:6a, type NE2000 (16 bit)

> ifconfig -a
fxp0: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:d0:b7:85:19:a9
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
ed0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:50:ba:a2:91:6a

The caveat to all of this is that the drive has shown some disk errors --=
=20
which will be replaced soon enough, but it seems odd that it completely h=
angs=20
the machine when I've tried to bring it online. When I ran ifconfig, it d=
id=20
not give any errors, just froze the system.   I have this same card on ma=
ny=20
other machines and have never had a problem with them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
