Well, it almost worked. > dmesg was: > > rl0: rev 0x10 int a irq 9 on pci0.11.= > 0 > rl0: Ethernet address: > rl0: unknown device ID: 1211 This means I forgot to do something in rl_attach() to properly handle the alternate vendor/device ID for the Accton MPX chips. I think these are just rebadged 8139s. I just now committed a fix to -current to deal with this. > of course I could not try to configure ftp options but it might work. It won't: the 'unknown device ID' error is a fatal error: the device was not attached. However, next time a -current snapshot comes out, it should work (or you could make a custom kernel). Thanks very much for testing this for me though: it's just the sort of information I was looking for. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
