Hey all, I'm building a Snort box and want to have two ip-less nics for detecting and one with IP for management. Using the hardware I've got (since we're in a budget crunch), I've scavenged together a Compaq Deskpro 4000, which has a built-in 10/100 NIC, to be used for management and a couple of old spare 3c595s we've got. The 595s are calling for the vx kernel driver, and I was wondering why my generic kernel only loaded one of them, so I explicitly stated, in the kernel config, to load two, vx0 and vx1. Now they both appear, but they don't actually work. I can ifconfig them up, but what happens is that one doesn't respond at all (no light on the hub), while the other immediately kills the hub by flooding it - the link light comes on, but so does the collision light, permanently, and my other workstation loses outside connection. I'm working with 4.6.2. Anyone got suggestions? (I'm off-list, so please include my address in replies.) -Robby Robert Desmond Systems Administrator UCSB Extended Learning Services 805-893-4906 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
