Hi,

We first noticed these "watchdog timeout" errors with the "vr" driver and
dlink cards with FreeBSD 4.5. "rl" and "sis" were fine. We just built a
machine this morning with FreeBSD 4.7 with both "vr" and "sis" type cards in
it and both exhibited the exact same fault.

Subject: sis(4): NETGEAR FA311 sis0: watchdog timeout


Hello!

I have a problem with FreeBSD 4.7 sis(4) driver. I have bought NETGEAR
FA311, and it doesn't want to work with nether FreeBSD 4.5 nor 4.7. When
I try to set an IP-address to it, I have this message sent to my
console: "sis0: watchdog timeout". My patch cable is ok, it's new as
well, and I have successfully checked it with the internal LAN interface
(fxp).

I have tried to search the net for similar problems, and I have found
some, but what I haven't found is the solution to make it work. I'm new
to UNIX, so I have no idea how to make it work. I've installed FreeBSD
4.7 recently, so I need this card to work with it. Thanks for reading
this letter; I hope someone will send me some ideas about it. Thanks.
