I have a small pile of old BICC 16-bit ISA ethernet cards. They work with all
the versions of FreeBSD which I've used, and indeed sometimes give better
performance than the 3C509s which are "standard" around here. My only gripe
with them is that they're forever logging errors:
May 24 13:00:17 hub /kernel: lnc0: Receive overflow error
May 24 13:00:22 hub last message repeated 17 times
May 27 09:04:21 magoo /kernel: lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer
May 27 09:04:24 magoo last message repeated 2 times
All of the cards I've tried whine in a similar way. I've tried them on a range
of machines from a 486/33 up to a P166, none of which are doing a great deal
in network terms.
My question is, really: is this to be expected?
Ian.
