--QKdGvSO+nmPlgiQ/ Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH" Content-Disposition: inline --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable For the past week or so I've been having issues with the em module for my network card. The link yo-yos every 5-10 seconds making the connection barely usable at best, and fills up dmesg output with the following: em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex em0: Link is Down em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex em0: Link is Down [repeated ad nauseum] I first noticed this with a system I'd built on the 22nd, and after cvsupping again last night, the problem still persists. I've already tried different network cables, ports on the switch, etc, and am convinced enough at this point that the problem is not hardware related to write to this list and beg for help. Ironically, this is the interface which I used to install the system, but I've since used another wireless card for networking, which leads me to my second problem with -current. I'm using ndis in order to use a Linksys WMP11v2.7 (Broadcom chipset) wireless card with -current, and it works great, even supporting the 802.11 encryption, until I increase the machine's RAM from 1G to 2G. After doing so, the card still initializes and appears as ndis0, however its status continually reports that no carrier is detected, and ifconfig calls to the device either hang or fail. Removing the extra gig of RAM returns the card to a working state. I've alraedy shuffled the RAM around in various configurations, and used memtest86 to test the RAM. Everything tests out OK. I've heard that the current state of ndis can be dodgy, so I bring up this issue merely to try and be helpful. I'd be plenty happy with using the em module for networking and having the full 2G of RAM installed. The machine in question is a 3.0GHz Northwood Pentium 4 with hyperthreading enabled, with an 865G motherboard. I'm using DDR 400 RAM in dual-channel mode. I've attached dmesg output from booting with 1G RAM, please let me know if there's anything else I can provide to help debug this. best, --=20 Jonathan "CowboyNeal" Pater | pater@slashdot.org http://cowboyneal.org/ | http://slashdot.org/ "Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil." -- Jerry Garcia --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=dmesg Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.
