I have had problems with the D-Link DFE-550TX card ever since I installed FreeBSD.4.1-RELEASE <2 3699-0> (10:15:58) [ dk@omnia ~ ]% uname -vm FreeBSD 4.2-BETA #0: Fri Nov 10 17:39:54 EST 2000 root@omnia.qwarp.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/MATRIX i386 <2 3700-0> (10:16:03) [ dk@omnia ~ ]% dmesg | grep -i ste0 ste0: <D-Link DFE-550TX 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe400-0xe47f mem 0xe1000000-0xe100007f irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci0 <2 3701-0> (10:19:50) [ dk@omnia ~ ]% tail /var/log/messages Nov 30 01:23:41 omnia /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 88 Nov 30 02:19:55 omnia /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 88 Nov 30 02:20:06 omnia /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 88 Nov 30 02:35:45 omnia last message repeated 2 times Nov 30 06:17:06 omnia /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 88 Nov 30 07:28:03 omnia /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 88 Nov 30 09:47:55 omnia /kernel: ste0: transmission error: 88 Nov 30 09:57:22 omnia last message repeated 24 times Nov 30 10:08:05 omnia last message repeated 32 times Nov 30 10:08:40 omnia last message repeated 3 times Every now and then my network connection would stall. Even if it doesn't, I utilize no more than 20% of the bandwith according to GKrellm. This is a brand new NIC. Any suggestions on why the NIC keeps stalling? If this is a driver/NIC specific issue, I am willing to purchase a 3c905x since I believe the xl device has been proven and tested good under FreeBSD. dk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
