The problem need not to be confined to 9.0. It stated to develop under
5.1 already.
read: started to develop...
I'm running a natd gateway machine that was developing strange
behaviour such that the
outside interface (ed0, BNC connector) that was connected via a small
media converter switch to
the providers sync line had dropouts. The machine couldn't ping into
the Internet and also couldn't be pinged.
I first thought it was the switch/media converter, but another
(Windows XP) machine that was on the
same BNC cable worked flawlessly.
So I decided to migrate that 5.1 machine to a 9.0 machine. The
situation now is that I have the9.0 machine
at the BNC cable and simultanously the old FreeBSD 5.1 gateway on the
same BNC cable but through a
TP adapter. This was the old machine works fine and I can care about
the new machine.
Is there a known problem with ed0 cards that have the Realtek 8029
chipset. Do they need some
special flags like memory mapping or irq?
When I for example boot the 9.0 machine the comping up of the em0 (on
mainboard interface results in a highlighted
kernel message on the console. The coming up of the ed0 is not flagged
this way. And as a result the
ed0 interface seems to be dead.
Here some excerpts of dmesg:
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.2.3> port 0x4400-0x441f
mem 0x93100000-0x9311ffff,0x93124000-0x93124fff irq 20 at device 25.0
on pci0
em0: Using an MSI interrupt

ed0: Ethernet address: 00:e0:7d:7c:2b:4a
I also see this:

Forgot to add this info:
