I have tested with a adaptec 80Mb, and it didn't work too. The chipset is the same the AIC 7896. > You need to run 3.2 or better to get the drivers for the on board > Adaptec. I have downloaded (with CVSup) to stable version, but I have the same problem. I have about 10.000 users in my master.passwd. When I runnig the vipw, my machine stay down (I can't send any e-mail, when I have the problem). Another test that I have done with my kernel was to put the flags below: controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 flags 0xb0ff disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 flags 0xb0ff controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 flags 0xb0ff disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 flags 0xb0ff It didn't work too. > The onboard NIC works like any other Intel 10/100 using fxp0, adding a > asecond nic makes the onboard fxp1 (for failover purposes, I assume) I think that I don't have problem with my NIC (Intel 10/100). > We like them, and are trying to get Intel to make the reporting of temp > etc and power managment Unix friendly.
