I have a minor problem with FreeBSD 5.1 on a SunFire V100. I'll skip the
fact that the default kernel doesn't support the network interfaces (dc) and
I had to recompile the kernel :-)
My problem is that, now they're available, neither interface reports it's
MAC address (it did when Solaris 9 was installed):
# ifconfig dc1
dc1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::d41d:8cd9:8f00:b204%dc1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
There is another minor problem in that the interfaces are the "wrong" way
around. Interface 0 is reported as dc1 and interface 1 as dc0.
I'm also getting:
dc1: watchdog timeout
dc1: failed to force tx and rx to idle state
dc1: failed to force tx and rx to idle state
A search of the archives indicate it was a known problem (well, irritant) in
5.0. Strangely I don't get this for dc0.
Finally, a strange one:
warning: no time-of-day clock registered, system time will not be set
accurately
Now, I've got a few days to play with this system before I have to lock it
down and put it live. If anybody has anything they think is worth trying
I'll give it a go.
TIA
