This is a multipart MIME message. --===_0_Tue_Apr_16_18:38:39_PDT_1996 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I've been running a DC21140 Fast Ethernet card on a FreeBSD-2.1.0R machine [Endeavor MB, Pentium 133MHz] for some time with no problems. I recently aquired several P75 machines also with Endeavor MB that I also loaded a similarly configured 2.1.0R on. the problem is that I can't get the Ether card to work correctly in 100BaseT mode. the symptom are: - the cards work fine in 10BaseT mode - in 100BaseT mode the cards seem to receive network traffic [tcpdump shows lots of packets on the wire] - in 100BaseT mode if I try to ping another host on the local net I can see the arp request go out on the link, the correct route gets cloned in the routing table, and the correct MAC address is stored with the route, but no IP packets go out on the link. seems to be some kind of transmit problem. has anyone else seen this? suggestions and/or solutions? I've attached the boot messages below for additional info. thanks, danny --===_0_Tue_Apr_16_18:38:39_PDT_1996 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Description: rtr.messages Apr 16 18:11:25 rtr10 /kernel: FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Mar 24 11:27:53 PST 1996 Apr 16 18:11:25 rtr10 /kernel: root@bp-test.ipsilon.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/RTR Apr 16 18:11:25 rtr10 /kernel: CPU: 75-MHz Pentium 735\90 or 815\100 (Pentium-class CPU) Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x525 Stepping=5 Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,PSE,MCE,CX8,APIC> Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: real memory = 16777216 (16384K bytes) Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: avail memory = 14983168 (14632K bytes) Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: Probing for devices on the ISA bus: Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: scprobe: keyboard RESET failed fe Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: sio0: type 16550A Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa Apr 16 18:11:26 rtr10 /kernel: sio1: type 16550A Apr 16 18:11:27 rtr10 /kernel: lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa Apr 16 18:11:27 rtr10 /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Apr 16 18:11:27 rtr10 /kernel: lp0: TCP/IP capable interface Apr 16 18:11:27 rtr10 /kernel: fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa Apr 16 18:11:27 rtr10 /kernel: fdc0: NEC 72065B Apr 16 18:11:27 rtr10 /kernel: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <QUANTUM FIREBALL1280A> Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: wd0: 1222MB (2503872 sectors), 2484 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: npx0 on motherboard Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: npx0: INT 16 interface Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: Probing for devices on the PCI bus: Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: chip0 <Intel 82437 (Triton)> rev 2 on pci0:0 Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: chip1 <Intel 82371 (Triton)> rev 2 on pci0:7 Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: de0 <Digital DC21140 Fast Ethernet> rev 17 int a irq 11 on pci0:13 Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: de0: DC21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.1 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:2b:6d:bf Apr 16 18:11:28 rtr10 /kernel: de0: enabling 100baseTX UTP port --===_0_Tue_Apr_16_18:38:39_PDT_1996--
