Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have just put together a box around an Asus P2B-F motherboard and installed 3.2-release from the WC CDROMs. Works fine, but I'm having no luck with a 3C509-combo ethernet card. The card has been working fine in a different box under a different OS, and is back in that box and still working now, so the problem is not the card or the cabling. The relevant part of my dmesg is: 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300 ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on ISA ep0: aui/utp/bnc[*UTP*] address 00:60:08:ac:d7:1b After boot, "ifconfig ep0" gives: ep0: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:60:08:ac:d7:1b After "ifconfig ep0 inet 192.168.1.1", it becomes: ep0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:60:08:ac:d7:1b If I try to ping any of the other live machines on my 192.168.1 LAN, I see the expected flashes from the correct lights on the hubs, but there are no responses reported by ping. Same deal if I try to ping from the other boxes into this one. If anybody is using one of these and knows what I've done wrong, please let me know. Alternatively, if anybody knows that the driver is a dud, that would be helpful to know -- although not welcome news :-) If I've left out the really important bit of information, please yell at me so I can fix that. And thanks in advance for any brilliant ideas. -- Greg Black -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
