Hi, I have tried and failed to get my 3C589B to work with a self-made FreeBSD boot floppy, based on latest (April) snapshot, with the only change being that I replaced the kernel with a -current kernel as of yesterday. The 3C589 card is probed fine, the correct ethernet address is read out and everything looks ok until I try using the card. I see absolutely no packets coming from my laptop when using tcpdump on a neighbouring machine. After trying to ping a given address for somewhat less than 10 seconds, it says "Host down" or something like that (I guess it didn't receive a reply to it's ARP request). This is on a laptop with a Cirrus PD672x rev3 PCMCIA bridge chip, which I understand is a clone of the Intel PCMCIA chip, and from searching/reading the mail archives, this hardware combination was supposed to work. The depressing thing is that the same hardware works just fine under Linux with David Hinds' package, so that is what I am reverting to for the time being. :-( ;-) The only difference I could spot was that the FreeBSD driver placed the card at i/o 0x300, irq 10, whereas the Linux driver placed it at i/o 0x2e0, irq 9, but I guess the only thing differing here is the programming of the bridge chip, right? Thought you guys might like to know that there may still be bugs crawling around in this vicinity... Regards, - H=E5vard PS. If you follow up on this, please CC me as I am not yet a member on any of the freebsd lists.
