All the HW is ok (it runs fine under Win95 with Bay's driver). FreeBSD recognizes it as a Digital chipset (using the PCI de driver). However it no worky. It seems that the driver doesn't recognize this flavor of the chipset/adapter. It configures it as a 100Mb port, although the 310tx auto senses the network for either 10 or 100 (in my case, it's hooked up to a 10Mb hub). Trying to ping causes collision lights on the hub. Sniffing around the code/docs, I tried ifconfig de0 -link2 to force it into 10Mb mode. When I do this I get "transmit timeout" errors from the kernel. So, any support for this adapter post-2.2.1?
