[pfSense Support] NIC issues
I'm having issues with the following NIC cards: Sun Quad Fast Ethernet - not recognized Intel Pro 100 - recognized, but doesn't seem to work - used it as my LAN interface - connected it back to back with another maching using a X-over cable and configured both on the same net - couldn't access the config page any help would be appreciated JB - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the freebsd device name is hme: The hme(4) driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC workstation and server models.

yes - it shows up as fxp0 - but then I get errors loading microcode - and it just don't work on the network JB On Thu, September 29, 2005 12:38 pm, Marc A.

Re: [pfSense Support] NIC issues
I suspect the microcode is borking the NIC.Do you have a newer NIC that you could try? I would rather not remove the microcode support as it works wonders for newer cards.

Re: [pfSense Support] NIC issues
Is there anyway to turn off the microcode on a per/NIC basis?

Re: [pfSense Support] NIC issues
Not easily. The code detects that you have a fxp driver and then tries to init the code. I suppose we could add a tag to systemdo_not_use_nic_microcode or something...

The 509 is an ISA card which means you need to run the 3com util 3c5x9cfg (I think that's what its called) to make sure you don't have any irq/io conflicts. might have jumpers on the card in lieu of that, a few of them did. Might also have to muck with some of your resource settings in your BIOS. Honestly, unless you have a lot of hair you wouldn't mind losing, I would suggest trashing ISA cards and getting some PCI NIC's. :) They can be had for ~$5 USD a pop on ebay.

Re: [pfSense Support] NIC issues
The issue is the Intel Pro - not the 3C509 (I have to use this until the QFE card is supported - because I only have 3 pci slots, and need 4 interfaces) The 3C509 is an ISA card - and works just fine JB On Thu, September 29, 2005 3:49 pm, Chris Buechler wrote: Fleming, John (ZeroChaos) wrote: 3c509 or 3c905?

RE: [pfSense Support] NIC issues
Btw the microcode is loaded via the option link0 which is passed to ifconfig. I'm not sure where that is set but a few grep for link0 in /etc/ should show you. -Original Message- From: J B [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 12:22 PM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] NIC issues Is there anyway to turn off the microcode on a per/NIC basis?
