>Description:
Hi.
I was running 2.2.2-RELEASE with an SMC 8432, using thinnet and the
BNC connector.
It worked fine, I simply plugged it all in.
I upgraded to 2.2.5-RELEASE, and, on booting with the BNC port connected,
the driver says that "auto-select" is enabled, but complains afterwards
about a "cable problem?".
I messed about with 'ifconfig' and the 'media' option, but it didn't
seem to be possible to get the BNC port working. Leastways, I couldn't
persuade it to work.
Using a transceiver into the AUI port, on boot the driver states
"AUI/BNC port selected" and the AUI port works fine. However,
"hot-swapping" the cable to the BNC connector doesn't work.
In 2.2.2-RELEASE, this "Just Works". :=)
I tried the later driver (971020-de.gz) from the 3am-software home page,
which, unhappily, behaves in exactly the same way as the driver in
2.2.5-RELEASE.
I "down-graded" the 'de' driver code to the two files from the
2.2.2-RELEASE distribution:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 20269 Dec 3 1996 /sys/pci/dc21040.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 137197 Apr 19 1997 /sys/pci/if_de.c
Regardless of whether it is the BNC or the AUI port that is connected,
this driver says that it has selected the AUI/BNC port (rather earlier
in the 'dmesg' output). With this version, it appears that the AUI port
is broken (no messages are given, everything looks fine, simply no packets
appear to get put on the wire). However, the BNC port works fine, so I'm
using this and the tranceiver is back in the drawer...
I haven't tried the TP port, but I could if it'd be of any interest...
Let me know if you need anyone to test this.
Best regards,
AS
PS BTW, the appended 'dmesg' output will show that I'm running Luigi's
PnP code. This doesn't seem to be a factor (i.e. the problem appeared
before I added this driver, and seems unchanged afterwards).
Output of 'dmesg' after boot follows (the 2.2,2-RELEASE output is from
a different machine which hasn't yet been upgraded):

>How-To-Repeat:
Install an SMC 8432TBA card and try to use the BNC port with
2.2.5-RELEASE.
>Fix:
For me, this is to either use the AUI port and a transceiver, or to
use the BNC port with the 2.2.2-RELEASE driver.
