Hi all.
Since I have experienced problems with an SMC NIC which runs on the 'dc'
driver, I went out and bought a new 3Com 3C905 NIC, which runs on the
'xl' driver.
Ha! Not such a simple solution...
When I boot, I get the following (beware MUA wrapping):
---
<snip>
Sep 4 11:51:46 obelix /kernel: pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> on
motherboard
Sep 4 11:51:46 obelix /kernel: pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0
<snip>
Sep 4 11:51:46 obelix /kernel: pcib1: <PCI to PCI bridge (vendor=10de
device=01b8)> at device 8.0 on pci0

<snip>
Sep 4 11:51:58 obelix /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout
Sep 4 11:51:58 obelix /kernel: xl0: reset didn't complete
---
Those last two messages (watchdog timeout and reset didn't complete)
repeat every minute or so. The NIC will not talk to the network, though
'ifconfig xl0' looks healthy. Have I done something wrong? Does anyone
know of a fix?
I have searched the archives, but I could not find anything that looked
like a solution.
I have had to revert to the 'dc' card for now, but that one is giving me
problems of its own...
Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly.
