I just did the MFC. Btw., the 3500/4500 are still mentioned as having no support for their Sbus-based SCSI (fibrechannel) controller. ISTR someone recently wrote the SCSI controller does work though, can I take this for granted and update the file as well? I should get access to a 3500 sometime soon, but so far cannot verify it. > > The prob i did find was with QFE card support; they all appear as > > hme, have the correct individual MAC addresses--- but little else, > > and errors galore. The QFE actually *is* a quad HME card, that's why FreeBSD uses the same driver for it. What kind of problems do you have with it? I've only used PCI-based QFEs so far, but never encountered any problems with them -- they even make a fine Quad card in IA32 machines now that FreeBSD supports them outside of OpenFirmware systems. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-systems.de http://www.interface-systems.de/~j/
