I have difficulties with these gigabit fiber boards. They are in the 738640 series, which I believe to be LIVENGOOD from my observations. I have cards mounted in Linux servers, with the Intel driver and they operate correctly. I have had no success with FreeBSD and the wx driver, either back to back, or plugged into a gigabit switch (Extreme Networks). In either cases, the link is active (2 leds on), but the cards won't originate traffic, or signal that they have received traffic (which I can see coming on the boards from the leds). I am using 4.2-stable from last weekend. The log gives a lot of ``receive sequence error'' messages from the boards, resulting from my tests, I suppose. I use the boards in a 32bits 33MHz PCI bus, in case it matters. My servers have a 64bits bus, but the boards are supposed to operate in any form of 33/66Hz,32/64bits environments. If anyone has them running, I would be interested in their comments, the configurations they have, and the difficulties they might have encountered. Also, does the wx driver work only in auto negotiation mode? Thanks, jc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
