The problem had turned out to be non-detection and non-support of NE2000 cards with full-duplex mode transceivers. I first sent a patch that prevented the rx buffer spilling into the tx buffer and kept seperate pointers for both, properly reflecting the effective half memory sizes. I later wrote with specifications I argued out of D-Link which clarified duplex card detection as well as information on better supporting JITI (adjustable buffer fill interrupt triggers) transfers. Last I looked no changes had been made to if_ed.c. I since moved to a 3c905 based card, so I dropped it. --- David Greenman wrote: > >I've been paying for the FreeBSD discs for a few years now > >despite having fast enough net access to get the thing for > free > >merely because it kicks money back to the development team. > >There, you've got my contributions. > > > >Last time I tried submitting anything it was dismissed > without > >even a test because D.
