They are both more or less the same - likely even the same chip inside, but the later has pins reduced. AFAIK the later can't have an external PHY, which you can't have anyway if there is neither a connector or PHY itself connected on the board. The 8168 is the successor for PCI express, with the 8111 being the new reduced variant.

Thanks for the info Bernd, I have the 8169's running fine on 7.* and 8.* . I believe these have the new drivers. The 8169 are not PCI express - they work stable since a very long time now, but the latest additions have some enhancements for them. One of the additions is seeable by issuing ifconfig, that is TSO4, which wasn't supported previously, but there were other speed enhancements as well. I've just looked into CVS and it was added in Rev 1.101 I don't know how much of it made it into 7.0. -- B.Walterhttp://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I already read the handbook and the sio(4) manual page but I haven't found something helpfull yet. I'm asking all this because I have an Aztech UM9800 external modem which's on COM3(at least that's what Windows shows )and I cannot change its COM port to 1 or 2 . It is recognized as ugen0 when the system boots. It is an usb modem but I was told by people on this list that I can use it with FreeBSD. If I can then I would appreciate any help from you on how to set it up. Thanks people ! The sio driver is not for usb devices. Build a kernel with umodem/ucom if your modem is really a modem and not one of those softmodem things. In the later case there is almost no hope to get it working - and it's not really worth it IMHO. -- B.Walter BWCThttp://www.bwct.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem with USB ulpt0 and CUPS
On Wed, Jun 18, 2003 at 08:39:12AM -0500, Thomas T. Veldhouse wrote: I posted this in April and received no response. However, this has been an ongoing issue since at least 2001 (where I found the first reference to this trouble via Google). The problem seems to be that the FreeBSD USB LPT driver (even with no-reset) is somehow dropping the first bits of the data stream, causing a page full of trash to be printed prior to the actual print job. I have no verified this problem with 5.1-RELEASE as well. I have a machine that has been serving as a print server. That machine was running CUPS and SAMBA over Linux. Now, it is running FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p7 with CUPS and SAMBA. I have a Lexmark Optra 312 laser printer hooked up to the usb port, ulpt0 (no reset). When it was running linux, everything ran perfectly. I allow the Windows client machines to use their print drivers and send a raw stream through samba to cups for printing. This configuration has worked fine. However, for reasons of my own, I have put FreeBSD 5.0 on this machine. The same software configuration exists for printing. Now, when I print most pages, I get an extra page prefixing the job with two or three lines of printer commands (i.e. resolution = 600, @PCL, etc). This seems to be caused by the FreeBSD usb printer driver dropping a couple of characters at the beginning of the command stream. This used to happen to me with FreeBSD 4.6 as well, which is why that machine was running Linux in the first place. Has anybody seen this strange behavior and is there a known fix for it? I can reproduce it localy with -current, but have no fix. I thought that I had found the reason a few days ago, but murphy teached me better :( There is a bug in signal handling, but that's not our problem here. -- B.Walter BWCThttp://www.bwct.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
