Dear lists,

since I couldn't get the speed I need with GbE em cards I bought a pair of=
=20
firewire 1394a cards and a 6-to-6-Cable.
I tried fwe, could ping the other host and also transfer very little files =
via=20
ftp, but as soon as I try to shovel a view hundred kByte files the connecti=
on=20
stalles. Of course, same with NFS, there I can't transfer any file.
Then I compiled a kernel with ipfw but it's exactly the same.

Also one machine hangs sometimes at boot when the cable is connected to bot=
h=20
cards and the other machine is running, with the following lines:

fwohci0: <VIA Fire II (VT6306)> port 0xd800-0xd87f mem 0xe2041000-0xe20417f=
f=20
irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0
fwohci0: OHCI version 1.0 (ROM=3D1)
fwohci0: No. of Isochronous channels is 4.
fwohci0: EUI64 00:11:06:00:00:00:75:86
fwohci0: Phy 1394a available S400, 3 ports.
fwohci0: Link S400, max_rec 2048 bytes.
firewire0: <IEEE1394(FireWire) bus> on fwohci0
fwe0: <Ethernet over FireWire> on firewire0
if_fwe0: Fake Ethernet address: 02:11:06:00:75:86
fwe0: Ethernet address: 02:11:06:00:75:86
fwe0: if_start running deferred for Giant
sbp0: <SBP-2/SCSI over FireWire> on firewire0
fwohci0: Initiate bus reset
fwohci0: node_id=3D0xc800ffc1, gen=3D1, CYCLEMASTER mode
firewire0: 2 nodes, maxhop <=3D 1, cable IRM =3D 1 (me)
firewire0: bus manager 1 (me)
[...]
firewire0: New S400 device ID:0011060000007587
firewire0: split transaction timeout dst=3D0xffc0 tl=3D0x7 state=3D3
firewire0: bus_explore node=3D0 addr=3D0x40c resp=3D60 retry=3D1

Then nothing happens but the system isn't frozen since "numlock" key is=20
toggling the keyboard LED.

=46or a verbose boot or a full dmesg please see=20

I have no idea where to start finding the real problem.

Has anybody out there ever been able to use tcp/ip over the VIA VT6306=20
firewire link?

Thanks,

=2DHarry
