Hi,

Great news: I can confirm that it works fine when the e1000phy patch 
was removed on this system. I have not tried this on the system that 
*did* work fine with the patch, though.


I reverted to e1000phy.c 1.17 and e1000phyreg.h 1.3 on FreeBSD 7, and it 
now uses the generic driver and correctly detects the media.   However 
for me it still doesn't work.  Keep getting:


nfe1: watchdog timeout

then the link goes down and back up again.

Wish I had more time to dig around in it.

Hello,

Please try to use generic PHY driver (ukphy) instead of e1000phy; 
i.e., use nfe without the patch for e1000phy.
I've switched to FreeBSD 7 and I think the e100phy.c patches are already 
in the source tree?


Is there an unpatched version for FreeBSD 7?

Thanks.

if_nfe on nVidia chipset

[Brian Smith]

Hi Palle,

   I am having the same issue.  I just installed FreeBSD 7.0 snapshot 
from January to see if that helps because the latest patch requires 
FreeBSD 6.2 and I had been running 6.1.  But still getting (none) for 
the media type, but everything else *looks* like it is working.  However 
nothing responds.  Can you run pciconf -l -v and compare it to my IDs?

Hello,

Sorry, there's no change, it still acts the same way.

media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: active

and the network does not work. No mediaopts work.

Palle

loading a module before booting to install

[Brian Smith]

Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE on a Dell PE750.  I need to load
the aac driver so it will recognize my RAID drives.  It's not a part of the
GENERIC kernel that's loaded at the install boot and isn't an option on the
kernel config screen.  What do I do to load the aac driver before booting to
install?  I've got boot floppies to install from and 4.8 CD media too, so
installing from CD or network, either way is fine.  I think I need to load
aac.ko, but I don't know how to access it from the boot floppy or the CD.
Please help me!

FreeBSD 4.8 and Dell RAID

[Brian Smith]

Can someone tell me how to get the FreeBSD 4.8 install CD to recognize my
Dell RAID array?  It needs the aac driver and it's not enabled on the 4.8
GENERIC kernel.

Thanks,
