Mike,
I am sorry I was so jumpy with the description of my problem. Let me
elaborate some more. I have two NIC's, a PCI Card Intel PRO/100 and an
onboard Intel PRO/100. The onboard NIC is giving the following kernel
error:
/kernel: fxp1: warning: unsupported PHY, type = 17, addr = 2
Yes, the card itself is still working, it actually works fine, but every
minute this error comes up. Since this is a firewall box, I dont want
hundreds of these errors in my log every day.
I did a little investigating, I am no where near as knowledgable as soom
of the freebsd people, but I looked at the if_fxp.c driver src and saw
that PHY Media refered to the Media of your LAN. (simplex, duplex,
10Mbit, 100Mbit) In any case, this is a signifacant bug to be worked out.
David Greenman sent me an email with a little snipit of code to add the to
fxp src, I will try that today. He also voiced his opinion about trying to
fix this issue with onboard networking, because those supermicro boards
are rolling out quickly.
Getting back to my idea of this problem being with media type, I did
ifconfig -a and got the following:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 216.243.128.21 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 216.243.128.127
ether 00:90:27:b0:39:9d
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
fxp1: flags=8806<BROADCAST,DEBUG,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 216.243.129.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 216.243.129.255
ether 00:30:48:10:0a:2d
media: manual
supported media: manual
Obviously, they do not match. For starters I dont even know how to set
these to be the same media. I tryed ifconfig fxp1 media 100BaseTX, but
that was met with the error: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured.
Again, any help on this would be great.
John
