I am currently experiencing problems with the 0307 -CURRENT snapshot, and the dc driver. I previously have had no problems with the pn driver I had been using in 3.4-STABLE. I installed current on this machine because as of now, the wd driver in stable doesn't like my larger IDE drive very much. So I got the drive working, but I simply cannot get the network card to cooperate with this new driver. It's detected, dmesg lines as follows: dc0: <82c168 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> port 0xd00-0xdeff mem dc0: starting DAD for fe80:0001::02a0:ccff:fe21:9357 dc0: DAD complete for fe80:0001::02a0ccff:fe21:9357 - no duplicates found I've toyed with various mediatype settings, hasn't seen to make a difference. ifconfig dc0 media auto results in the error ifconfig: SIOSIFMEDIA: Device not configured Standard ifconfig -a output shows media: 10baseT/UTP status: no carrier, though the lights are on on my hub. If I configure it to 100baseTX, and bring the interface back up again, it shows the status as active, but the lights immediately die. Trying to toy with the duplex settings in 10baseT/UTP mode also give me the SIOSIFMEDIA error. Does anyone have any insight into this? As I said, this card has always served me well with the pn driver, but then I am unable to gain access to my drive with the wd driver. I'm really hoping there's some way I will be able to configure the NIC properly under 4.0. - Jay Oliver Please at least cc all replies to this email address, as until I resolve this problem with the NIC, my mail servers offline, and I can't read the lists. I don't think the owner of this shell would appreciate me subscribing it to relatively high traffic lists. Thank you.
