I have a Digital DE500: Jul 28 19:03:24 newporn /kernel: de0 rev 32 int a irq 12 on pci0:10 Jul 28 19:03:24 newporn /kernel: de0: DE500-AA 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 Jul 28 19:03:24 newporn /kernel: de0: address 00:00:f8:03:66:e9 [skip to npx0 detection] Jul 29 12:59:41 newporn /kernel: de0: link up: enabling 10baseT port ...and I'm running 2.2-stable cvsupped from yesterday afternoon. The card seems to work fine except for when the cable is unplugged. This message gets logged: Jul 29 13:00:05 newporn /kernel: de0: link down: cable problem? If the cable is plugged back in, the link is dead and the link LED on the card flashes. netstat -i will freeze after the first line is output. If I give it a "ifconfig de0 down" and then "ifconfig de0 up" it comes back and works fine and has a solid link light. Is this a known problem? And if so, is there a fix in the works, or is support for the Digital cards going away? Someone had suggested getting the de0 package from 3am-software.com; can anyone give me a "yay" or "nay" on that? Thanks much, Charles
