I tested 2.2.2-RELEASE box with latest de driver[1]. I use 100BASE-T(half duplex) about two months, there are no problem. I think Auto sense mode has some problem(1997/10/20 version of if_de). I set statically 100baseTX via ifconfig link option as below. ifconfig_de0="inet 131.113.y.z netmask 255.255.255.0 link0 link1 -link2" [1] Matt Thomas's de driver page. http://www.3am-software.com/ [2] dmesgs de0 <Digital 21143 Fast Ethernet> rev 48 int a irq 9 on pci0:11 de0: DEC DE500-BA 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 3.0 de0: address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx de0: media: 1="10baseT" 2="Full Duplex 10baseT" 3="100baseTX" 4="Full Duplex 100baseTX" --- Yoshiro MIHIRA Dr. Candidate, Yamamoto Lab.
