Subject:   Network cards for a firewall server?
Message-ID:  <20030105180137.3126.qmail@usa.com>

Hello everyone

I am trying to build a firewall server with FreeBSD 4.7, but I'm having some problems with the network cards.

When I install it with two Netgear FA-310TX network cards, I get the "dc0: watchdog timeout" messages.

If I try two Intel PRO/100 cards, I get the "fxp0: DMA timeout" and "fxp0: SCB timeout" messages.

Searching the mailing lists the problems for both these types of cards seems to be reasonably well known. I tried moving the cards around the
PCI-slots, but without any success.

Anyone who can recommend network cards with less problems for a firewall server (or knows the solution to these problems).

Thanks
Magnus
