Hi.

This is not a FreeBSD specific.

I'm having strange problems in my Intel EtherExpress 100 network card.

FOr some reason, it only work when i use a direct conection using a cross cable to another computer.

If i try to use a switch or hub. This card is unable to receive any packets ( but is capable of send ).

So. i can send a arp request, but unable to receive the answer.

The remote computers ( 3com/sis/realtek ), the cable( cat5 cross and single ),  and the switch( and hub ) are ok.

I'm really confused. i can imagine why it works on direct cross connection, but when i try to use a hub using cross and normal cat5 cable, i can't receive any packets. ( ifconfig/sniffers show 0 packets RX ).

Can someone help me?
