Hello, When using the Etherlink XL Card under FreeBSD 2.1.6, the card seems to be in "Promiscuous mode". It seems, that the function "vxsetfilter" in the file /sys/dev/vx/if_vx.c has no effect ! After reconfiguring the Card with the DOS Utility from 3Com and manually setting the "Network Driver Optimisation" to "Minimal CPU Performance" or "Normal" ,saving the Setup ,and booting FreeBSD the Card works normally. ( Changing of "Promiscuous mode" with vxsetfilter is ok ) But after booting FreeBSD after a power cycle the same Problem is detected. Has anyone an idea how to fix the Problem ? Does anyone has a Documentation describing the Registers of the Chip ? -- Gerd Pauli NIC-Handle: GP40-RIPE CHT Software Service GmbH Internet Access Provider Steinerne Furt 78,D-86167 Augsburg I.S.A.R Netzwerke, NTG Xlink Phone: +49 821 7406-0 Fax: +49 821 7406-100 E-Mail: Gerd.Pauli@CHT.de
