I have two machines with new 3Com 3C996B-T adapters using the bge0 driver and I am having a problem with nfs. I can mount the server from the client, and I can cd into the mounted directory, but as soon as I do an 'ls' command, the client appears to hang. Strange loooking packets occasionally show up in tcpdump with what appears to be huge, invalid port numbers and the packets appear to be fragments?. I can ftp to/from the server just fine. I tried changing ETHER_ALIGN to 0, but same results. Tried media 100baseTX to force both cards to 100Mbps, same results. I removed the gigabit switch and used a crossover cable between the 2 machines, same results. I removed the bge0 cards and put in good ol' reliable fxp0 cards using same crossover cable and everything works fine. Is the bge driver a complete piece of crap, or am I holding the mouse wrong? :) Any recommendations for a more stable GigE card over copper? --Lee Lee McKenna Sr. Systems Engineer LodgeNet Entertainment Coporation 3900 West Innovation Street Sioux Falls, SD 57107 605-988-1320 lee.mckenna@lodgenet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
