They detect fine (dmesg output follows) but if I try to bring them up, they wedge my machine solid, to the point where all I can do is a hard reset. In the archives, I found references to these guys working fine, but I noticed the ones mentioned were v2 or v4 chips, and I have a v3 chip. Don't know if that bears on the problem or not. To prove it wasn't hardware, I've tried 2 cards in 2 seperate machines and the end result is the same. One of the machines is 4.1, the other is stable, cvsupped about a week ago. The only other datapoint I have at this point is that whether or not the cable is connected, the link light is lit when the boot is complete, but the switch they connect to is not showing a link and the output from ifconfig dc0 says status no carrier, or something to that effect. I also tried using the utilities disk to disable autodetect, and set it to 100baseT/full-duplex, no change in the behaviour Additional Data: FreeBSD marvin.wass.net 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #10: Sun Feb 18 14:18:45 EST 2001 root@marvin.wass.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/MARVIN i386 Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.
