I upgraded one of my older boxes with a Linksys ethernet card this evening, and was a bit surprised to see this in dmesg: dc0: <LC82C115 PNIC II 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfebfff00-0xfebfffff irq 9 at device 19.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0 dcphy0: <Intel 21143 NWAY media interface> on miibus0 dcphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto This wasn't the case a month or two ago when the box was last upgraded. I'm going to look into backing out some of the recent commits to if_dc and see if that helps, but I have to say this result isn't thrilling :-). Interestingly, IP works, although it's probably making a mess of the CPU load on the surrounding machines: curry:~> arp -a ... ? (192.168.11.227) at 00:00:00:00:00:00 on xl0 [ethernet] Another problem I've had with this card for years is that it can't properly negotiation 100mbps, although around 3.0-current, it could. No time to track that down either.
