Hi there, We had a number of these cards running at 10 & 300 and while they seemed to work, whenever the interface was up I couldn't restart the box, I had to do ifconfig ie0 down and then restart - never could figure out why. Replaced it with and NE200 PCI card and sent the etherexpress to card heaven. I was also using an old 486 with the card. cheers craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Mike Holling Sent: Tuesday, 5 January 1999 19:04 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: EtherExpress 16 I've got two of these cards, and may soon get many more. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be working for me. Reading the archives shows that some people have them working fine, while others can't get them to work at all. There is also some vague mumbling that the driver is neglected and unmaintained. If you are using (or trying to use) this card, please send me a quick email stating your configuration and if this is working. For example, I have: port: 0x300 irq: 10 iomem: 0xd0000 memsize: 32K system: 486/33 16M OS: FreeBSD 3.0-current works?: Nope, can send ARP replies out but that's about it Also, let me know if you've had to do any special fiddling to get it working, or if it worked in one machine but not another. There seem to be quite a few cases where the card will work fine under Windows, but not FreeBSD. I'd like to look at some empirical evidence to see if success/failure is due to certain hardware combinations, in which case the driver code might need to be re-examined... - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
