It had been running an old version of 5-current from August 3rd 2001 without any problems. Yesterday I decided to upgrade the machine to 5.0-Release, via FTP using boot floppies. However, it just hang when trying to resolve the name of the FTP server. A tcpdump on the router showed zero activity from that machine, as if the interface was dead. On sysinstall's debug screen (Alt-F2) I got the following information. I've copied it manually (no serial console), so there might be typos. DEBUG: Loading module if_dc.ko (DEC/Intel 21143 (and clones) PCI fast ethernet card) dc0: <Macronix 98715/98715A 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 0xe5000000-0xe50000ff irq 5 at device 8.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0 dcphy0: <Intel 21143 NWAY media interface> on miibus0 dcphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto Note that the ethernet address (MAC) is not detected correctly! Then I decided to install a current 4-stable snapshot (4.7-20030120-STABLE). It seems to work fine, and detects the card like this: dc0: <Macronix 98715/98715A 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 0xe5000000-0xe50000ff irq 2 at device 8.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 00:00:e8:59:a3:47 miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0 dcphy0: <Intel 21143 NWAY media interface> on miibus0 dcphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto >How-To-Repeat: Try to install 5.0-RELEASE on an i386 machine (via FTP) with a Macronix 98715/98715A NIC. >Fix: None known. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
