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 mtu 1500 inet 216.243.128.21 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 216.243.128.127 ether 00:90:27:b0:39:9d media: autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP fxp1: flags=8806 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
