Problem with a carbus Realtek 8139 card
Hi people, I installed -CURRENT on my laptop: FreeBSD saioa.energyhq.tk 5.0-CURRENT-20020204-JPSNAP FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT-20020204-JPSNAP #0: Fri Feb 8 13:09:05 CET 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SAIOA i386 And compiled a kernel modifying the NEWCARD template. Everything works fine , except from time to time the network stops working. If I do a ifconfig rl0 down and then ifconfig rl0 up it starts working again. Any idea why is this happening? If I use the 16bit pcmcia nic this doesn't happen, and it also didn't happen when this computer was running NetBSD 1.5.2 Cheers, -- Miguel Mendez - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Public Key :: http://energyhq.homeip.net/files/pubkey.txt EnergyHQ :: http://www.energyhq.tk FreeBSD - The power to serve! msg34720/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

You can work around it by setting a timer, and handling the transmit and receive interrupts as people have been discussing for the ep driver (I have several of these, and they appear to work for me, if I do that). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
