I am running a Kingston KNE110TX (82c169) card under FreeBSD 3.2-BETA connected to an Asante 8+2 switch. I have been having two (almost certainly related) problems: 1) The switch always seems to think the card is in half-duplex mode. The only way to get the switch's LEDs to show FDX is to use 'autoselect' but even then if I power cycle the switch it will show half duplex again. The LEDs on the card always show FDX, unless of course I manually set it to half. 2) When the BSD box is on a 100MB segment, anything more than minimal traffic will cause loss of data. For example, I can telnet into it OK, but upon running 'lptest' I will get dumped. Also I could FTP into it, but getting a large directory listing will cause the client to hang. I can do more testing and provide more information, but first I thought I'd see if this is a known problem. I've tried a few different cables, but not many. Anyone know what I'm looking at here? funky drivers.. bad hardware.. losing my mind??? later, Tom Embt tom@embt.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
