i had a similar problem with a friend's hp laptop. i installed 5.1 and had a little trouble getting the mouse to work. i don't remember what configuration made the mouse work, but i do remember exactly what happened with sis0: when the machine was started sis0 was initally in "media hw-loopback" mode, to get it working on the 10Mbit network i was attached to i had to type "ifconfig sis0 media 10baset/utp". i don't know about 100Mbit networks; maybe you have to specifically set the media type for that too, or maybe the auto-select works on 100Mbit but not 10Mbit. it's worth a shot if you haven't already tried it. --- Sam Sen <techlists@kubicle.com> wrote: > check this out and it does make sense. > > http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15646 > > when i do "ifconfig -a" it doesnt even mention "full or half duplex" > it says "auto-select" or i think it even mentioned "hw-loopback" > > my other freebsd boxes state if the NIC is negotiating at half or > full and > the speed of the network. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ion-Mihai Tetcu" <itetcu@apropo.ro> > To: <techlists@kubicle.com> > Cc: <techlists@kubicle.com>; <ticso@cicely.de>; > <freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org> > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 5:54 PM > Subject: Re: National SemiConductor NIC > > > > On Wed, 29 Oct 2003 16:41:52 -0600 (CST) > > <techlists@kubicle.com> wrote: > > > > > i doubt it ... it's an HP laptop, so I'm not sure what they use. > > > why? > > > > Sorry, I didn't read with attention and thought it could be related > > to: > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=55473 > > > > The funny thing is that I've made the mistake twice; time to get a > > goood sleep, after all it's 01 a.m. here ;) > > > > > > > > -- > > IOnut > > FreeBSD unregistered ;) user > > ===== ************************************************************ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
