Ok; when the system is turned on, the link light on the hub comes on..... then, this shows up on the screen: de0 <Digital DC21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 32 int a irq 11 on pci0:14 de0: DC21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 de0: address 00:e0:29:05:9c:c0 de0: enabling 100baseTX port at this time, the light on the hub is switched off. 'ifconfig ed0 (+/-)link(0/1/2)' will not bring the card back to operation, in either the 10baseT nor the 100baseT ethernet hubs. (this message is from my running 2.1.6 kernel; same beavior from the 2.2.2-RELEASE install disk). The card only has a TP port. > -----Original Message----- > From: j@uriah.heep.sax.de [SMTP:j@uriah.heep.sax.de] > Sent: Monday, June 02, 1997 1:41 AM > To: Raul Zighelboim > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: 2.2.2-Release and SMC/3com PCI cards.... > > (redirected to -questions) > > As Raul Zighelboim wrote: > > > I attempted to upgrade my server to 2.2.2 from 2.1.7 last night. > > The install floppy identified both my SMC and 3C595 PCI Ethernet > cards, > > but was unable to use either one; it would time out when trying to > > contact the DNS server. > > You should be more specific about your setup.
