I have a few machines running OpenBSD and NetBSD, but this is my first run at using FreeBSD on a production system. This is also my first run on some new hardware with AMD's cpu and MSI's mainboard.
At first, I expected to have no problem with my on-board NIC. It is detected under the dc(4) driver and configures normally. I can ping other nodes from this machine. I can resolve DNS queries and traceroute out past my router.
However, I can't ping the FreeBSD machine or open any tcp connections to it. Another strange thing is that the hardware address looks wrong. ARP tables on this machines and others show that it is using the MAC address 07:00:07:00:07:00
Another strange thing is that 'netstat -in' shows incrementing counters for incoming packets to the interface. It seems like a broken connection between layer 2 and listeners at layer 3.
Configurations tested:
Hardware: MSI Mainboard with on-board NIC and Duron 1300Mhz
Mainboard model: MS-6378X-L VIA chipset
NIC chipset: AN983B
OS: FreeBSD Release 4.6.2
from 'ifconfig -a'
dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.1.210 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255
inet6 fe80::250:daff:fe0a:24ff%dc0 prefixlen 63 scopeid 0x1
ether 07:00:07:00:07:00
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
status: active
from 'dmesg'
dc0: <ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xd8001000-0xd80013ff irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0
dc0: Ethernet address: 07:00:07:00:07:00
miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0
ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0
ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
I would be willing to experiment with patches for a couple of days, before I move on to another NIC. I already tested a 3c9XX without any problems.
TIA,
Chris
