Follows a description of the problems: (these are TP cards only). ---Under FreeBSD 2.1.7 (with the patch to accept 00:e0:29... MAC): Jun 9 09:48:29 kiyoko /kernel: de0 rev 32 int a irq 11 on pci0:14 Jun 9 09:48:29 kiyoko /kernel: de0: SMC 8432BA DC21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 Jun 9 09:48:30 kiyoko /kernel: de0: address 00:e0:29:05:9c:c0 Jun 9 09:48:30 kiyoko /kernel: de0: enabling BNC/AUI port The card will not work. the link light on the hub goes away as sson as the previous message shows up, and will not come back. --under FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE #0: Wed Mar 26 14:35:45 CST 1997 de0 rev 32 int a irq 10 on pci0:10 de0: SMC 9332BDT 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 de0: address 00:00:c0:4b:6c:ef The card is working, but..... on a 100baseT network, cannot pull more that 150Kbytes/s. and, TCP sessions hang whenever there is a large amount of output to be send (ie, whenever you type 'ps aux', ' cat /var/log/messages' or 'ftp>get x' an ftp session ; you can see the transmision working 'by hicups!). --under FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jun 13 13:29:27 CDT 1997 (patch for 00:e0:29 applied). de0 rev 32 int a irq 15 on pci0:17 de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 de0: address 00:e0:29:05:9e:e4 de0: enabling 100baseTX port The card comes up and seems to work... now, this are the symptoms, ------ telnet yama login: mango password: xxxxxx ------it will hang at this point-------- or if ftp-ing to the system, commands like dir/get/put will not work, as if I had ports>1023 firewalled (I do not). this server also has a 3C509 card. disabling the SMC card and enabling the 3com card (on a different hub, of course) fixes all networking issues. I considered the possibility that my 100BaseT hub was defective, but an NT server on the same hub (and with the same wires) flyes. I also tried any and all combinations of 'ifconfig de0 [+/-]link[0/1/2] up'. Any help to fix this problem would be appreciated (or a reccomendation for -working PCI 100baseT Ethernet card with -solid- drivers for FreeBSD 2.2.2-Release). Thanks.
