Hi,

I have a Compaq 850R machine fitted with two SMC 9334BDT boards, that I
use for firewalling purposes.
I choose these cards to be able to speed up my network at 100Mbps
I also bought a 3com dual speed hub, to be able to connect old machines
at 10Mbps, and a plain 100Mbps 3com hub.

When I use the dual speed hub, or the plain 100Mbps hub, The de driver
autodetection seems OK, but at 100Mbps, the TX led of the board stays
lit, and no communication seems to occur.
The Hubs are OK because other machines (Compaq too) running NT do
communicate together well.

The use of ifconfig media and media-opt didn't solve the problem very
much. I could obtain communications at 100Mbps, but with ping I had a
10% lost packets. But it seems that the requested options are not set-up
in most cases. I couldn't try configuring with the dos utility since
bringing this machine down brings the whole network down too (that's why
I choose FreeBSD ! :-)

Did anyone used these cards successfully at 100Mbps, and preferably with
3Com dual speed hub ( a friend of mine told me that he didn't like them
because the switching engine was faulty ) ? If it worked properly, how ?

Regards

Fabrice Segura

PS: Release notes for 2.2.7 said the compaq NetFlex 3 boards were
supported. Where is the driver ?
