Howdy, Isn't it just great when your supplier changes the model of ethernet card they send you without warning... Up until now I've been using an SVEC digital chipset based 10/100 ethernet card with no problems. They have replaced this with the new model, based still on the DEC chipset, but now using a 21143-PC chip. And low and behold, it won't talk out the port. (system recognises it). The man pages say that the 21143 chip is supported, but I guess the line interface is not. Boot output is: Oct 27 00:08:22 squid /kernel: de0 <Digital 21143 Fast Ethernet> rev 48 int a ir q 12 on pci0:9:0 Oct 27 00:08:22 squid /kernel: de0: 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 3.0 Oct 27 00:08:22 squid /kernel: de0: address 00:c0:ca:11:78:75 As an alternative I purchsed some Accton cards. Known as EN1207B's the system actually recognises them on boot. But again it won't talk out the port. (yep, tested cables etc, works fine with old card). These have a 21140-AF chip on then, and a Level One LXT970QC which I take is the line interface. Boot output is: Oct 27 00:18:41 squid /kernel: de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 34 int a i rq 12 on pci0:9:0 Oct 27 00:18:41 squid /kernel: mapreg[10] type=1 addr=0000d400 size=0080. Oct 27 00:18:42 squid /kernel: mapreg[14] type=0 addr=e5800000 size=0080. Oct 27 00:18:42 squid /kernel: reg16: ioaddr=0xd400 size=0x80 Oct 27 00:18:42 squid /kernel: de0: ACCTON EN1207 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2 Oct 27 00:18:42 squid /kernel: de0: address 00:00:e8:50:0e:a4 Oct 27 00:18:42 squid /kernel: de0: enabling 100baseTX port Anyone had any luck with getting either of these to work?
