The following reply was made to PR i386/41988; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Erik E. Fair" <fair@clock.org> To: "Amy Emmerton" <amy@gsicomp.on.ca> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: i386/41988: autoconfig of SiS 900 10/100 ethernet fails at boot time in 4.6.2 GENERIC on AMD EasyNow PC Date: Fri, 04 Oct 2002 02:59:42 -0700 Alas, that patch is for rlphy, and this system has an AMD 79c901 HomePHY in it. Also, as my PR stated, I tested against FreeBSD 4.6.2 GENERIC, and it didn't work. On the presumption that the patch you pointed me at in that other PR was already integrated with 4.6.2, it doesn't solve my problem. There does seem to be some funny stuff going on with different revs of the SiS 900 chip, though - one of the patches had some extra magic numbers in it that were rev dependent. If it's any consolation, NetBSD-current has support for this chip and this PHY, but the PHY is apparently not attaching. I'm investigating why now... thanks for the pointer, Erik <fair@clock.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
