Or is the 82555 the same >as the 82559 ? Nope. The 82559 is the actual NIC itself. The 82555 is the PHY. The problems with the 815E motherboards are (as far as I know) restricted to those that have the 82562EM and 82562ET chips; these should show up in the inphy identification line. The problems with ahc & fxp don't appear to be related to the 815E problems, this seems to be something else. Matt has seen the problems with both the old & new fxp drivers; the problem seems to have popped up with the ahc driver updates. So my guess is that it is an unfortunate interaction between the drivers. What's interesting to note, is that both Matt and Vladislav's systems are using the same RCC chipset: <ServerWorks NB6635 3.0LE host to PCI bridge> I wonder if this is related? Dell did have some problems with APIC rotuing on the boards, but I was under the impression that this had been resolved already. Is anyone else running fxp + ahc combination on this chipset? -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
