This is a 100mb/s card which uses the DEC 21140-AE chip.
Freebsd sees this card as de0. However, in spite of
every effort to make things happen on the wire with this card,
I cant get any packets to transmit on the wire. I hooked up a
sniffer to the hub to monitor the packets comming
from freebsd. Nothing!! I could see the packets comming from
the solaris box (an old LX).
The routes looked like this:
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 lo0
172.16.0.2 Link#1
The card has the following config line in rc.conf:
ifconfig_de0="inet 172.16.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 up"
Because the systems are on a local area network, there is no
default route, and no router (routed is not started). We use
/etc/hosts (no nis). /etc/hosts.conf looks at hosts first.
Issuing ifconfig de0 yields:
de0: flags=c011<UP,LINK1,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 172.16.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
