Howdy.
I'm having some troubles with the Digital 21143 Fast Ethernet cards I have.
They're 4-port cards, and I have four of them (all total, I have de0
through de11). Here's the output of "ifconfig de9":
de9: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.210.100.93 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.210.100.255
ether 00:c0:95:e0:4a:a9
media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
Based on this, it appears that I can run these cards at 100baseTX
full-duplex. However, the autosense on bootup assigns (as you can see
above) 10baseT/UTP to the cards.
I have tried manually setting the media to 100baseTX full-duplex, but it
doesn't fully work. After setting de9 to 100baseTX full-duplex I'm able to
ping the IP assigned to de9, but I can't reach any other machines on the
de9 network.
My question to the list is whether or not anybody has gotten these cards to
work on 100MB. I'm running 3.5-STABLE as of 16 Aug. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Erick
