Dear FreeBSD core team and hackers, I just put the updated version of my fe driver on freefall, as: ftp://freefall.cdrom.com/incoming/fe-960303.tar.gz This is a revised fe, Ethernet driver for MB8696x based adapters. This version is based on and tested with 960226 SNAP. I want someone in the core team to replace the fe driver in the latest kernel source tree with this new one. Updated files are: /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_fe.c /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_fereg.h /usr/share/man/man4/fe.4.gz I also want to see the "device fe0" line in the GENERIC kernel config file. I believe it's worth to do so; the driver is surely stable after one year experience, and, as you know, availability of a network adapter driver in the system install floppy is critical for easy installation. Suggested config line for fe is: device fe0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq ? vector feintr Major changes from 960226 SNAP: More adapter models are supported: Fujitsu FMV-183/184 and some older models of Allied-Telesis AT1700 are added. Preliminary support for PC cards: Fujitsu MBH10302 PCMCIA Ethernet adapter now works on FreeBSD. More reliable adapter probe. Fixes of some (mostly small) bugs. Please contact M. Sekiguchi <seki@sysrap.cs.fujitsu.co.jp> for any questions and/or bug reports. Have fun,
