Someone asked if the new DE driver (I assume in the latest 3.0 snaps) works. I'm having trouble with it. I'm using a later-model SMC tulip-based card on my home machine and it doesn't work very well. What happens is that after booting it works at first. But then once you do a significant amount of networking the interface seems to freeze. If I'm using a TCP protocol, such as ftp, doing an ifconfig de0 -down ; ifconfig de0 -up will bring it back for a while. (If I want to do lengthy FTPs I can do while ( 1 ) ifconfig de0 -down ; ifconfig de0 -up sleep 1 end in another console and things will look like normal. But UDP seems to go south on me. I NFS mount a partition from another machine and once the interface freezes, NFS never seems to recover. Going back to the 3.0-970507 snap works. I have that one on CD-ROM. I know that later snaps work (I think everything in July was OK) but nothing including and after the 3.0-970812 snap works. I don't have anything earlier than that around and they were taken off releng22.freebsd.org. -Fred Gilham gilham@csl.sri.com
