Hi, I am walking into the following oddnesses. When i have 3com 3c905b ethernet cards in the machines and i put them on media autoselect, then at the cisco 1900 catalists i can see many allignment, fcs errors and collision fragments. Oh yes, the machines are connected to cisco 1900 catalists. The machines are x86 machines. However, when i put them for example on 10baseT, then not so much is wrong and i dont see that much errors. So autoselect doesnt seem to work fine on a 3com card with a cisco switch. Also traffic is going slower when it's set to autoselect. Now when i try this with intel ether express cards, i dont have these problems when looking on the cisco switch. Does anyone else noticed such as strange stuff? Would it be that 3com cards dont work fine with cisco switches or is it something else? For right now i am thinking to replace all the 3com cards with intel ether express card. I believe they also perform better. Any suggestions? Bye, Reinoud. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
