Message-ID: <20000908175243.A29153@mail.vcnet.com> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i X-Operating-System: http://www.freebsd.org/ Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Performed an upgrade from 3.4s to 4.1s today. Upon restarting when all was said and done, it detects my LNE100TX cards correctly as dc, but it shows NO CARRIER. After mucho trouble shooting, I've found that the cards work with 4.0r systems, and even some earlier 4.0s systems, but starting with 4.1R, and maybe earlier, dc stopped working with LinkSys LNE100TX cards. Booting off the release CDs also confirms it. (4.0r works fine, 4.1r does not... across multiple systems including Athlon, single PIII and dual PII.) Just a heads-up for anyone else. Fortunately, I had extra cards of another brand laying around. jon PS - The upgrade was smooooth. Followed the directions in /usr/src/UPDATING and everything (save the ether cards) turned out cherry. On a dual Pii 333 system, it took about 30 minutes of downtime. (Including some bonehead moves by me that cost prolly 10 minutes.) FreeBSD rocks baby!!!!!
