(PCI). The probe by the vx driver was not seeing it. The console log showed that this model had a device ID which was not being recognized by the probe function in if_vx.pci.c I modified /sys/pci/if_vx.c to recognize the device id the cards was sending back; however, when the card was configured using ifconfig, the system would hang with a "Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers! "message. This still persisted when maxusers was increased to 64. The card was plugged into a 100mB hub. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: We're working around it by using an older 3COM PCI card. I'd appreciate being notified of any fixes to the driver, though. Modified sys/pci/if_vx_pci.c to check for the new device id. diffs: 85c85 < if(device_id == 0x905510b7ul || device_id == 0x905010b7ul || device_id == 0x905110b7ul) --- > if(device_id == 0x905010b7ul || device_id == 0x905110b7ul) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
