Follow up to my own post... On Wed, 29 Dec 1999, Eric D. Futch wrote: >Ok here's a really small patch that gets it to attach to the ep0 >driver. There's a few problems.

I have Cisco Catalyst switches, so I can force a port into 10 or 100, half or full and it works no matter what I set it to. >Second is that you get generally around 1.3ms ping time to computers that >are on the same LAN as you.

This is most likely due to the blazing speed of my 486 33Mhz laptop. I ran some stress tests and had 0% packet lost most of the time. There's just one other problem that I'm not getting a hold of... Card inserted, slot 0 card0: assign ep0 iobase 0x240 irq 3 flags 0x1 ep0: No connectors or MII. ep0: [*UTP*] address 00:00:86:50:43:1f It says ep0: No connectors or MII. but works anyway. I don't know if this is normal or not. So every can go buy 3Com OfficeConnect 572BT cards now :) -- Eric Futch New York Connect.Net, Ltd. efutch@nyct.net Technical Support Staff http://www.nyct.net (212) 293-2620 "Bringing New York The Internet Access It Deserves" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
