RE: problem with network cards in server, plz help
I got it working with the netgear buy just turinging off the plug n' play.

RE: problem with network cards in server, plz help
The problem you describe is becoming common in the 4.x versions of FBSD. I have seen these solutions voiced previously in this list. 1. Check the PC's bios, look for a toggle to disable plug-n-play function. 2. Check that your PCI Nic card is not in the first or last PCI expansion slot on the motherboard. 3. There is a problem with autonegotiation of the media settings between your NIC and your switch. The default setting of auto means the Nic card should sense the Lan for the switch or hub and set it's media type to match. There have been reports of the Nic Card media type changing on the fly between 10/100 and halfduplex and fullduplex causing the network to freeze up. To stop this use the "ifconfig" command in the rc.conf file to force the media type. Like this ifconfig_xl0="inet 10.0.10.2 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" 4 add option PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES to your kernel source and recompile. See LINT 5. add device puc option PUC_FASTINTR to your kernel source and recompile. See LINT 6. Follow bug fix using this url http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=40636 Try one of the above one at a time until your problem goes away. I have two different cards on my Netfinity 5000 server, a pci Netgear FA311 (showing up as a NatSemi (sis0), and the onboard network card which seems to have an AMD chipset (pcn0). If I have the onboard ethernet card enabled at all and have an active cable connected to it and restart the computer it comes up on ukphy0, turns the pci error light on and I get no internet access which it later makes the computer reboot automatically without any warning. If I disable that card and put in a PCI Netgear card, have also tried other cards such as Intel or IBM cards, once in a while it will boot normally but every once in a while it will get hung up on the ukphy0 as well, giving me the same problem as the onboard network and reboot itself. At first I thought it was an IRQ problem but all of my devices now have individual IRQ's set in the bios and I'm still having this problem. I'm afraid to reboot this thing because I'm afraid it won't be coming back up. Below are from my dmesg, the first is when I have my onboard ethernet enabled and the second is when I have the netgear installed. Any help would be much appreciated on what to do with this problem. By the wayI'm running on FreeBSD 4.6.2 but also have this problem running 4.7, I it also usually hangs on the driver initialization during installation of the os.
