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 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. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
