Hi Everyone,
I have an Intel board with onboard NIC's, for some odd reason they're
coming up with a mac address of all FF:'s. I've tried reinstalling,
clearing the CMOS on the board, just about everything I could think of.
On another Intel board I have with onboard nic's, there was no problem
at all, fxp0 and fxp1 worked w/o a problem.
Another thing that I've noticed is in ifconfig where it has media, it
just says "Ethernet manual". What exactly does that mean? I've looked
around on google as well as the handbook and FAQ but didn't really find
a good answer. The only real difference between this Intel board and
the other is the version of freebsd, 4.4 is on the other one.
To make this even weirder, I gave the macine an address on my local
network, 10.0.1.2, and it was able to ping my normal workstation,
10.0.1.1 and I could ping it back, however it could not ping the router,
10.0.0.1. I checked the subnet and it was correct (I even tried giving
it an address of 10.0.0.145 and it still didn't work).
If this is a simple problem and I'm just overlooking something I
apologize, but I'm stumped at the moment.
Thanks,
Adam
