Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, during the process of setting an old HP Vectra XM2 4/66i (66Mhz 486) as a firewall with 3.0-current (as of today) I had a problem with the lance-ethernet driver (lnc). The Vectra has an integrated AMD 79C970 PCI-Chip an the motherboard. I checked that it is really this chip on the MB! The lance-driver seems to recognize this chip as an Am79C965 (VL-Bus) and the further recognition fails. The interface does not show up if I do an 'ifconfig -a'. When I change the code in if_lnc.c / pcnet_probe to force the driver to recognize the chip as 79C970, everything works fine. Question: Is it possible that the recognition-string for the 79C965 in if_lnc.h (0x2430) is in reality the one for the 79C970 chip? Has anyone a working 79C965 that can be checked, or an other 79C970 that delivers 0x0242 back as id? Unfortunately I do not have any documentation. The system works now for me, but I would like to see it working in the future (if possible) without patches in the kernel.
