The cards work fine, in fact great, with most of my FreeBSD boxes, all of which run the 3.x branch updated weekly over cvsup. The trouble is, when I do an 'ifconfig fxp0 $some_address' on one particular machine (a Tulip P-II, real junk) the machine locks up. The keyboard still works (i.e. can toggle numlock light), and trying to switch to another VT causes the machine to generate a never ending beep. I guess it's getting stuck at spl???() somewhere. Setting the media type works, and the card works fine on other machines. I've tried changing the slot, and using a generic 3.x kernel too, but no luck. A 2.2.6 kernel works fine, no lockups. This card shares an IRQ with a 3c905 and a S3 ViRGE/GX2. Unfortunately I can't hack at this because it's a production box, and has to be up 24/7 almost always. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy. ------------------------------------------------------ Andy Doran, ad@psn.ie Consulting & network engineering ad@NetBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
