This system is particularly frustrating because it's in a lab I can't connect to the rest of our network. Basically, when the GA-621 doesn't work, I get this during boot: nge0: <National Semiconductor Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfebff0> nge0: Ethernet address: 00:40:f4:29:ec:0d nge0: MII without any PHY! device_probe_and_attach: nge0 attach returned 6 The 3c985b doesn't get even acknowledged during boot, so I'm probably doing something dumb. I need to go back and do some more homework. I had looked at the nge driver last week and was starting to get the impression that there is no PHY support for 1000baseSX.. but that doesnt seem to be the case. the nge driver croaks when it does an mii_phy_probe().. Thanks for everyone else's responses.. Sounds like I should've bought a syskonnect NIC instead of this 3com. . . confused, Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
