On booting (v3.4) I see the following message: xl0: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL> rev 0x00 int a irq 10 on pci0.17.0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:97:09:7a:9b xl0: autoneg not complete, no carrier (forcing half-duplex, 10Mbps) I can force it into 100Base-TX full-duplex in /etc/rc.conf; i.e. ifconfig_xl0="inet 198.77.208.10 netmask 255.255.255.128 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" but if I do so, my NFS partitions fail to mount. By experimentation I also discovered that if I change the configuration; e.g. ifconfig_xl0="inet 198.77.208.10 netmask 255.255.255.128" defaultrouter="198.77.208.1" hostname="mx1a.inr.net" linux_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" ifconfig_xl0="inet 198.77.208.10 netmask 255.255.255.128 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" or I add the following string to /etc/rc.local ifconfig xl0 inet 198.77.208.10 netmask 255.255.255.128 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex all appears to work ok, however, I am wondering why the card is improperly detected by the kernel during boot. Any one have any idea or how to fix it? Thank you. Noel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
