We have had lots of problems with de driver after it was upgraded to new
version (this one included the now-fixed BNC-port bug, for example). These
problems include
- port gets confused when cable unplugging the cable for a moment (no
buffer space available). ifconfig down and up fixes this, but it is
annoying.
- autodetect seems to easily drop to bnc, but will never come back to TP,
until manually fixed or forced in configuration.
- 100 Mbps no-name MM-fiber cards which worked before stopped working.
- 100 Mbps seems to produce various reliability problems, causing instant
panic on boot until the host is switched to 10 Mbps port. I cannot figure
out when this happens. This is strange as it may happen to a host which
has been fine for months, and then it just refuses to work with 100 Mbps
port any more.
As -current seems to have a ton of fixes and many of them seem to be
potentially related to our problems, is there by any change of -current
fixes finding their way back to -stable soon ? If not, has anyone tested
the -current driver with -stable lately ?
