Yup. Along with sane MAC address, netmask, broadcast, and media. Media is correctly reported and correctly changes when plugged into a 10baseT hub, or into a 10/100 switch. Would be happy to copy/paste a copy for everyone's second opinion but the machine is 17 miles away tonight and I didn't leave a wire plugged into an Intel port. With that said, this is one without a cable plugged into the fxp0: fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.100.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.100.255 ether 00:03:47:0c:64:44 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.73 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0 ether 00:c0:4f:86:26:7b media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active xl0 is getting its config from an NT server's dhcp. What the heck gives with that broadcast address? That's awful. Have to look into it tomorrow. Good old FreeBSD works anyhow. DHCP works on the xl0 interface but not on the fxp0. Have found a utility at http://www.intel.com/ for disabling the Intel Network Boot Manager stuff. Genuine Intel card in my home machine works but has version 2.1 or 2.2 of the Intel ROM (not going to reboot to find out), problem Gateway brand cards have 2.6. Intel website says 4.0.something is current... I suspect anything which runs before FreeBSD gets a shot at the chip. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
