and PXE boot ROM too?
I booted NetBSD from CD and it attaches to this interfaces as rtk0.
It can't see media:
media: Ethernet none (auto)
(but switch shows that link is UP)
and I'm getting watchdog timeouts.
Slax (Linux LiveCD) also attaches to this card and tells me that
- it is an unknow chip version
- no MII transiever found...
I'm downloading
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200610/7.0-CURRENT-200610-i3
86-disc1.iso
now to test it under FreeBSD.
Yuriy.
