I have tried a qfe pci (with 4 hme chips), double fxp cards and
single fxp
ones. All are correctly detected, but when trying to send a packet
to any
NIC, packet don't reach networks.
Seems that the PCI port on such machine is more or less buggy...
maybe it's not the machine hw but openbsd? i ran 36 sun-servers
of this class with qfe-nic's and they worked very well. network
redundancy and failover was also working perfectly. redundant
servers taking over sessions, double wired VLANs etc...) under
solaris8.
Works well with Linux and FreeBSD as well with Solaris...
This is definitively a bug in OpenBSD (known it seems).
did you upgrade your firmware(s)? this sometimes helped me with
sun-servers (just talking 'bout solaris, never had obsd on them)
No. But I don't think this will solve this... anyway it have stopped
to use T1, because I need giga ethernet card ... and since the pci
port was unusable.... :p
/off the records/
anyway... i wonder, why one want's to run obsd on a machine, if
there is an os written for this type of hw... if i had to choose
between any other os and solaris on a sun-sparc, i always would
run solaris... make's sense, doesn't it?
Because we need an Os that is designed for making things that we
like and that is secure...
