>Release: FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386 (1026-SNAP)
>Environment:
Any PeeCee with a SMC Ultra 8216 network card
>Description:
FreeBSD incorrectly identifies the card, and as a result assigns an
8k iosize to the card, instead of the correct 16k.
> ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 maddr 0xcc000 msize 8192 on isa
> ed0: address 00:00:c0:e5:a0:96, type SMC8416C/SMC8416BT (16 bit)
This misassignment forces these systems to be unable to do fast
network transfers. It also causes a large amount of ring buffer
overrun's in the network code:
"ed0: warning - receiver ring buffer overrun"
Which also inhibits network performance. This bug appeared after
2.0.5R
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot any FreeBSD machine with an SMC Ultra card.
