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 ? -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@clinet.fi mobile +358-40-5519679 work +358-9-43542270 fax -4555276 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
