Comments from fellow : MX5 owners are invited as well. See bug kern/17829 There are multiple issues with this driver (in my experience) on Alpha hardware. I don't know if it's limited to Alpha hardware, since I don't have a 21143 based PC card to try. I have a 100Mb blade in my 500au, and the dc driver autoneg'd down to 10Mb/hdx. Forcing it to 100Mb/fdx didn't work. I've never tried it on a 10Mb card, but with the multiple ways this driver is broken already, it doesn't suprise me if it doesn't work. I just compiled out the dc driver and use the de driver instead. I sacrifice full duplex operation but I get a well tested and pretty stable driver. The dc driver needs some more time to mature, IMHO. I tried contacting the author, but he hasn't replied. - Matt -- Matthew Zahorik Director of Systems and Networking - BiznessOnline.com matt@thebiz.net President of AlbanyNet Inc. - a BiznessOnline subsidiary maz@albany.net Voice: (518) 292-1001 Fax: (518) 626-0793 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
