Hi Wes! Thank you very much for your email of March 18, 1999 to the freebsd-net list! Your fix of if_fxp.c allowed me to start using my i82557 ethernet controller. Here's some data on my box: I have an IBM PC300PL (Pentium 233) with an onboard i82557 chipset. I'm still using FreeBSD-3.1 (but waiting for my 3.4-copy). The kernel compiled very well without the fix and ifconfig recognized the interface. BUT, as soon as I ran the command ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 (or any other inet options...) the computer simply halted operation. Changing the source (pci/if_fxp.c) was the solution. For some reason, your diff was not handled well by patch (chunks 2 and 3 failed), but vi does the job as well :-) A copy of this is sent to freebsd-net because that's where I found your patch (thanks to egroups.com). I hope that your e-mail may help some more people having problems with their fxp-driver. Thanks again!
