In article <local.mail.freebsd-stable/200106080007.f5807BA03420@arch20m.dellroad.org> you write: > >It is (was) broken in 4.3-RELEASE with the "SCB timeout" problem. >Haven't tried -stable though. The current status on the fxp driver is this: + Adapters that are on the Intel 815 motherboard (or derivative designs) appear to be broken, and experience the "SCB timeout". Other adapters do not appear to have any problems. + This only seems to happen when the link is run at 10Mb/s, and may also be dependent on the type of hub it is connected to. + There is no difference (that I am aware of) between the old driver found in 4.3-RELEASE, and the new driver in -STABLE. Both have the same problems. + The driver in -current contains a workaround for this issue, *BUT* does not solve the problem on all boards. + Intel is in the process of getting me additional documentation (errata for these boards), which hopefully can shed some light on the issue. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
