--nextPart2095451.QbNSY4nYaP Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hello, I've recently became an owner of Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA 10/100 Ethernet Card,= =20 which gets picked up by FreeBSD-6.1 as xe0 by the if_xe(4) driver. Here is = a=20 line from dmesg: <snip> xe0: <Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100> at port 0xd040-0xd04f iomem=20 0xff904000-0xff904fff irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard1 xe0: [GIANT-LOCKED] xe0: version 0x45/0x04, 100Mbps capable <snip> Ofcourse, the 100Mbit mode is somewhat flawed by 16bit PCMCIA interface, bu= t i=20 plan on using it with 10Mbps anyway; The box is a DSL router so higher spee= ds=20 on the outside are not required. However, since it is a DSL link, altq is somewhat a necessity - and here is= my=20 question - how hard would it be to write altq support for this driver? Is i= t=20 possible, or due to some hardware issues with it it's something to forget=20 about? Right now I use the built in fxp0 as outside interface, and queue there, an= d=20 use the xe0 as inside without queuing; However despite the lack of queuing,= =20 there is another problem - the card is simply not quick enough for 100mbps= =20 LAN operation ;-) So my kind request here i guess would be if someone could perhaphs find som= e=20 time in their schedule to mayhap enable altq on this interface, or at least= =20 reply to me why it is not possible.. Another thing would be un-gianting the interface but that is not such a=20 terrible issue for me...yet ;-) Regards, //m. =2D-=20 Mateusz J=C4=99drasik <m.jedrasik@gmail.com> --nextPart2095451.QbNSY4nYaP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEZctaRwxyOeB3fN4RAsFxAKCqkrHVu6IYeWR3bcAVuurMW/XYTwCfXAwB muM1QSW/XrPekC9gG/69ZM4= =0pGS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2095451.QbNSY4nYaP--
