>Description:
The fxp driver in -STABLE incorrectly identifies the MAC address of any
and all new Intel PRO/100+ Management PCI NICs--model 734938-001, and
probably later models, as well--as 00:a4:c0:91:d2:9c. Although the
card still operates with the driver, placing two or more machines using
these NICs on the same Ethernet network results in a conflict. Unlike
older cards, ifconfig reports that the media type for the card is
"manual", with a single supported media type of "manual", and does not
report any "status" information.
Also, the following error is reported on boot:
fxp2: warning: unsupported PHY, type = 0, addr = 0
Here's the full output of ifconfig for the card:
fxp2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.2.24.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.2.24.255
ether 00:a4:c0:91:d2:9c
media: manual
supported media: manual
For reference, the actual MAC address of the above card, as reported
by the DOS-based Intel setup utility, is 00:90:27:89:76:81. As an aside,
the command
ifconfig fxp2 ether 00:90:27:89:76:81
results in a segfault; this happens with the old Intel PRO cards, too.
