Hi David, you wrote that you have trouble finding a person with Intel 82559 based NIC (regular or onboard), I am willing to assist you as much as I can to solve this problem. I alredy looked at the code in FBSD v3.4R and tried to create workaround a patch for my card supplied by Compaq. I could not finish the patch for 3.4R as my task had to be finished and I choose to swap the card. The problem with this particular card is that it's detected as i82558 based card, but the code for reading PHY type from EEPROM doesn't work as it is i82559 based card with integrated PHY. This can be detected by reading PHY identification from PHY's regiters (as documented in Intel docs). At the moment I have a spare machine and the NIC available for testing. Please let me know if you are interested in my offer to test your patches to 4.0 driver? Cheers, Milon PS: I sent similar message to -hackers a month and half ago but I never got any answer back (yes/no is enough). -- milon.papezik@oskarmobil.cz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
