>Description:
The de driver importet from current does not work with a SMC 8434BT
using the BNC port(s). This was testet on 2 different machines with
two different SMC 8434BT NICs. The card is detected but now packets
go in or out. Peter Wemm suspects the problem in the media detection;
however, I tried all combinations of "ifconfig de0 ... media ..." but
to no avail.
Trying with -current also didn't result in any success.
A Digital 21041 Ethernet works fine as always.
I am now back on if_de.c 1.54.2.6 which works very well.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 2.2.5-RELEASE or -current with de enabled.
Install a SMC 8434BT using the BNC port(s).
ifconfig de0 ... media ...
ping outside
>Fix:
Use version 1.54.2.6 :-(
