It wasn't until I backed off to fw=3.0.1 that I got solid UNI. I tried a 4.2.x or 4.y.z release (y > 2) which came off the Fore CD and it didn't work *at all* and backed off to the 4.2.0 rev after reading FreeBSD documents. I'll be happy to send you the 3.0.1 that I'm using so you can compare behavior. Let me know if you want a lump of microcode in your mailbox. :-) My campus network admin would strongly prefer I not do this :-) I crashed the ATM-on-Microwave bearer between two sites in the middle of a demo of Internet to the Royal Flying Docters by sending one ICMP packet and I'm not in good favour right now :-) -Plus the Centillion pages recommend a rev after 4.2.1 as being viable for their interop issues: I can't see myself selling a downgrade in place of an upgrade. If its not too silly a question to ask: WHY is the fore NIC and the hfa/ driver code so picky about which rev of microcode is used? cheers -George -- George Michaelson | DSTC Pty Ltd Email: ggm@dstc.edu.au | University of Qld 4072 Phone: +61 7 3365 4310 | Australia Fax: +61 7 3365 4311 | http://www.dstc.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
