Hi all, I've got weird problem with an Intel Etherexpress Pro 100. The cards work fine, in fact great, with most of my FreeBSD boxes, all of which run the 3.x branch updated weekly over cvsup. The trouble is, when I do an 'ifconfig fxp0 $some_address' on one particular machine (a Tulip P-II, real junk) the machine locks up. The keyboard still works (i.e. can toggle numlock light), and trying to switch to another VT causes the machine to generate a never ending beep. I guess it's getting stuck at spl???() somewhere. Setting the media type works, and the card works fine on other machines. I've tried changing the slot, and using a generic 3.x kernel too, but no luck. A 2.2.6 kernel works fine, no lockups. This card shares an IRQ with a 3c905 and a S3 ViRGE/GX2. Unfortunately I can't hack at this because it's a production box, and has to be up 24/7 almost always. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy. ------------------------------------------------------ Andy Doran, ad@psn.ie Consulting & network engineering ad@NetBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
