The problem with the Netgear FA410TXC, D-Link DFE-650, and some Linksys 10/100 cards (and maybe more I'm forgetting) is that the "MII" (media independent interface) on these cards has to be reset by the driver at startup time. Otherwise the cards won't successfully autonegotiate. There is code in the current linux pcnet_cs driver to do this (similar to what the fa_select program does, but cleaner and more general). It is a bit complicated because you have to push commands to the MII one bit at a time through a serial link. -- Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
