It's a 100BaseFX NIC used for 3Ms 'volition' FIber Network system. The card uses an i21143PD NIC, so it should be supported by the de driver. Unfortionatly, the driver finds the information in the EEprom bogus : de0: (blah blah, typed in) de0: can't read ENET ROM (why=-4) (d8130121000000000000000000000000 360004010060f5082b39001e00001000) de0: 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 4.1 de0: adress unknown I tried to force the driver to attach (just commenting out the return -4 in tulip_read_mac_addr). After that, i was able to configure de0, but had no chance to get any traffic through the interface. setting media to 100BaseTX gave steady 'TX' on the card) The transceiver used on the nic is a Level One "LXT970A". Anyone got this card to work? Thanks a lot, Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
