Subject:   Ethernet (xl) will not transmit or receive
Message-ID:  <20030220161905.BBA6D5D04@ptavv.es.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I updated my 5.0 system built in late January to RELENG_5_0 on Sunday
and the Ethernet was not working. I tried again last night with no
change in behavior.

The system is an AMD K6-2 on an ASUS P5A mobo. I have a 3Com 3c905B
Ethernet which had been working fine on a kernel built in late
January.

The dmesg is not too meaningful, but the system shows no errors. It
simply never receives a packet. ARPs are all incomplete and no packets
are transmitted although netstat -in indicates that they are. The
packets never actually reach the wire, though.

I can't believe that no one else has this card, but I didn't find
anything in the archives on it.

Any idea what needs to be rolled back and how far? I'm suspicious that
it might be an mii problem. Maybe even an interrupt issue. I an
suspicious of the second, empty xlphy0: line in the dmesg, but the
reported MAC is right and my old kernel that works seems to generate a
similar empty line.

Any clues or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
