I just picked up a bunch of Znyx ZX345 10/100 cards (that's the single, not the quad card), under the mistaken impression that these now work with FreeBSD. They don't, with 2.2-970417-RELENG, in 10 Mbit mode. (Haven't tried 'em at 100 Mb/s yet.) The card gets recognized, but fails without error messages if I don't use special ifconfig options, and "transmission timeout" messages if I force the driver into 10Bt mode with "-link2". My questions are: * Sh*t! I could have sworn these worked with the newer de driver. (OK, that's not a question.) * Do they work in -current? * If so, how hard would it be to backport the changes to 2.2? * What about the 4-NI card (the ZX346)? (The de driver has some tulip_21140_znyx_zx34x_... data structures, and I have a funny feeling that tweaking those data structures in the right way might accomplish the necessary magic.) I am willing to contribute some time, money, or hardware to get this working. Jim Shankland Flying Fox Computer Systems, Inc.
