Hi! Marvell's chip is not in supported nics section of 5_3 release notes, = but in man sk is , so I decided to write.=20 I've got some boxes with Marvell Gigabit NICs on-board (Gigabyte and = ASUS). Sadly, I can't be happy with it and freebsd 5.3 because of the = following two problems: a) sk0 driver seems to have some kind of bug in it - see = http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D71229 Does anybody know how is the work going on with it? I know that under = Linux they'd had some troubles with these NICs too, standard sk98lin = module didn't work properly and there was a vendors patch needed. Marvel = doesn't support FreeBSD, but maybe Windows NDIS2 will work?:=20 http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=3D113&pId=3D16 . I = can do some tests, but let me know if it's not totaly useless (some tips = how to make it work would be helpfull to :)=20 b) according to the vendor's info, NIC should be able to do jumboframes. = (http://www.marvell.com/products/pcconn/yukon/Yukon_88E8001_10_073103_fin= al.pdf) ifconfig mtu 9000 works, but packets seems to come truncated (in both = directions) host1% sudo ping -s 2000 host2 PING host2 (10.10.10.2): 2000 data bytes ^C --- host2 ping statistics --- 23 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss host2% sudo tcpdump -i sk0 -c 30 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol = decode listening on sk0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 22:23:23.514150 IP truncated-ip - 524 bytes missing! dyplom1g > = dyplom2g: icmp 2008: echo request seq 3 22:23:24.524147 IP truncated-ip - 524 bytes missing! dyplom1g > = dyplom2g: icmp 2008: echo request seq 4 22:23:25.534282 IP truncated-ip - 524 bytes missing! dyplom1g > = dyplom2g: icmp 2008: echo request seq 5 22:23:26.544280 IP truncated-ip - 524 bytes missing! dyplom1g > = dyplom2g: icmp 2008: echo request seq 6 ^C Does anybody know what's going on?? Are a) and b) all the same big = Marvel problem :)) ?=20 Honestly said I don't know how to track it further, because the link = layer (hardware or the driver) seems just to clip frames. If there's not = enought info for the solution please tell me what tests can I do - I'll = do it ASAP.=20 I'd appreciate you support as usual :)) hk
