I have found the Adaptec ANA-6922A and the SMC SMC9334BDT. I have no idea about the Adaptec card, have been rather satisfied with other SMC cards but really love the Intel Etherexpress. Unfortunatley, the is no dual channel NIC from Intel so maybe I have to stick with Adaptec or SMC. Does anyone have experience with this stuff? Or are there other 2 channel Fast Ethernet NICs to recommend for FreeBSD?

We use the SMC9334BDTs rather religiously. They are great boards. SMC discontinued them in April or so and claimed that they'd be reintroducing them on June 2 and that they'd be the same thing, just redesigned for lower cost and to use the latest versions of the Tulip and the NS PHY chip. June 2 has come and gone, and neither SMC's distributors nor their salescritters has any idea what's going on. SMC's been pushing their own broken controller chip (the EPIC) lately, so it's possible that they're just bailing out of the Tulip market entirely. We have an ANA-6944TX (the four-port board), and it has several nontrivial design flaws that cause us lots of grief. Three I remember off hand are that the bridge IRQs are done wrong (all four Tulips and the bridge each ask PCI PnP for an IRQ on the motherboard PCI bus, but the bridge's IRQ is actually used for all four Tulips), the MII table is wrong (the values it says to send/ expect on the MII port don't actually cause the right things to happen), and that the NS PHY chips on the thing, even when programmed correctly, seem to take a lot longer than they're supposed to in completing N-way negotiation. I am not sure if the two port board has the same problems as the four port, but it wouldn't surprise me if many of them were on that board, too. Another manufacturer you may want to check into is Znyx (http://www.znyx.com) who also make 1/2/4-port Tulip boards. I have no first-hand experience with these, but I know many people who say they work fine. Note that, if you have an AMI BIOS, your BIOS sucks. The AMI BIOS does not deal correctly with PnP in the presence of PCI-PCI bridges. If you're lucky, your devices will get numbered backwards and you might waste some IRQs. If you're not, multi-port boards just plain won't work in your system (unless FreeBSD can be made to do PCI PnP assignments itself). People who have chatted with AMI about this have said that AMI is completely uninterested in fixing this. -Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-net Mon Jul 13 06:55:13 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA01670 for freebsd-net-outgoing; Mon, 13 Jul 1998 06:55:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from david.siemens.de (david.siemens.de [192.35.17.14]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA01662 for ; Mon, 13 Jul 1998 06:55:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from andre.albsmeier@mchp.siemens.de) X-Envelope-Sender-Is: andre.albsmeier@mchp.siemens.de (at relayer david.siemens.de) Received: from salomon.siemens.de (salomon.siemens.de [139.23.33.13]) by david.siemens.de (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id PAA15447 for ; Mon, 13 Jul 1998 15:53:34 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from curry.mchp.siemens.de (daemon@curry.mchp.siemens.de [146.180.31.23]) by salomon.siemens.de (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id PAA03797 for ; Mon, 13 Jul 1998 15:53:59 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by curry.mchp.siemens.de (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA15249 for ; Mon, 13 Jul 1998 15:54:57 +0200 (CEST) From: Andre Albsmeier Message-Id: <199807131354.PAA14338@internal> Subject: Re: Looking for a 2 channel Fast Ethernet NIC In-Reply-To: <199807131024.GAA24219@itd.nrl.navy.mil> from Craig Metz at "Jul 13, 98 06:24:18 am" To: cmetz@inner.net (Craig Metz) Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 15:54:52 +0200 (CEST) Cc: andre.albsmeier@mchp.siemens.de, freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL40 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > In message <199807121637.SAA08386@internal>, you write: > >I am looking for a 2 channel Fast Ethernet NIC.

Sure. Unfortunatley, my 4 PCI slots are all used so there always will be some devices which share one interrupt. But this is no big problem because the shared interrupt is at the moment being used on a low traffic NIC and on the SCSI controller which mainly does the backups at night.

There are *two* dhcp servers on the 2.2.6 CD-ROM, if you have one of those; they're also available via the internet. Either can be installed with the 'pkg_add' command, or via the 'sysinstall' tool you used to install FreeBSD on your system. I've used the ISC server and found it to be quite easy to configure; I even helped port it to an embedded system last year. You shouldn't have too many problems with it. ;^) For more info, consult: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/net.html and search for 'dhcp'. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

I suggest you check that you've set the Wavelan Network ID (nwid) correctly with the wlconfig command. There are alternate drivers available from: ftp:// monarch.cs.cmu.edu/pub/monarch/drivers.

Any thoughts on the subject? Chris -- "Linux... The choice of a GNUtered generation." ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 17:48:49 -0500 (CDT) From: David Borman To: end2end-interest@ISI.EDU Subject: RFC 1337: Time-wait assassination A customer recently asked us if BSD/OS conformed to RFC 1337. I replied that RFC-1337 wasn't a standard, just an informational RFC, so there really wasn't anything to conform to. But, this got me thinking about TIME-WAIT Assassination. It occured to me that TWA could actually be used in a benificial manner. The main point of Time-Wait is to make sure that if the final ACK is lost, when the FIN is retransmitted we will respond with an ACK to the FIN, not a RST. From RFC-793: TIME-WAIT - represents waiting for enough time to pass to be sure the remote TCP received the acknowledgment of its connection termination request. But usually the ACK gets through, and the connection in TIME-WAIT sits around doing nothing but using up system resources. That's usually not a big deal, but on busy servers you can accumulate thousands of connections in TIME-WAIT state. What occured to me was that when the side in LAST-ACK gets the ACK, it could generate a RST before transitioning to CLOSED, allowing the TIME-WAIT state on the remote side to be cleaned up. Wouldn't this be a better solution to the thousands of TIME-WAIT connections on a busy server than having the server crank down the length of TIME-WAIT? Of course, it means changing all the clients out there to get any help. Thoughts?

My workstation and the cache box, being tested, both have Intel EtherExpress cards running at 100M into the same switch, so they get as near the full bandwidth as possible. I put FreeBSD on one disk and Netware 4.11 on another and just swapped the drives around at boot time to get the desired OS. Thus any hardware difference was ruled out. Knocked together a few small C programs. I noticed that the max throughput of the FreeBSD box was a shade over 6M/sec whilst the Netware box could manage up to nearly 9M/sec. I thought Netware may have the edge, but by that much? I tried bumping send/recvspace up to 64K one both boxes, but that only had a very slight performance increase. Is there anything else I could try? Using another test program I found that FreeBSD would panic. The program opened 1000 sockets to the squid box and requested a file from the web through each. The machine would panic with a page fault everytime I ran this program. The squid box would display something like "out of mbufs increase maxusers" and then panic a second or two later. Sometimes my workstation, which was running the test program, would also come down at the same time. I noticed if I killed off all the unnecesary processes on my workstation it wouldn't panic. A process waking up is finding some of it's memory missing? Both my workstation and the box under test are running up to date 2.2.6-RELEASE with maxusers set to 256. I followed the kernel debugging information from the handbook, but gdb still moaned about not finding some memory.

Something like: options "NMBCLUSTERS=8000" might work, but this depends on how large the socket buffers are for each of the open connections. Later versions of FreeBSD will panic immediately when running out of buffers, rather than panicing randomly a few seconds later. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-net Fri Jul 17 15:09:00 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA05172 for freebsd-net-outgoing; Fri, 17 Jul 1998 15:09:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from alpo.whistle.com (alpo.whistle.com [207.76.204.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA05165; Fri, 17 Jul 1998 15:08:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from julian@whistle.com) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by alpo.whistle.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id PAA21596; Fri, 17 Jul 1998 15:07:37 -0700 (PDT) Received: from current1.whistle.com(207.76.205.22) via SMTP by alpo.whistle.com, id smtpd021591; Fri Jul 17 22:07:36 1998 Message-ID: <35AFCB22.7DE14518@whistle.com> Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 15:07:30 -0700 From: Julian Elischer Organization: Whistle Communications X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Mark Powell CC: dg@FreeBSD.ORG, net@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 2.2.6 net performance and panic with 1000's of sockets open References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Mark Powell wrote: > > Been doing some stress testing of a web caching solutions, to > see which is the better of squid-1.NOVM.22 running under > 2.2.6-RELEASE or Novell's offering FastCache.
