Subject: 3c509 testers wanted!

I've rewritten the ISA bus front end code for if_ep and would like to
solicit testers.

ftp://ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/patches/if_ep.diff

You'll have to edit sys/i386/isa/isa_compat.h and remove all the
references to epdriver and NEP.

Right now 'wired' devices aren't supported so use

device ep0

in your config file.

I'd especially like people with 3c509Bs to put them in PnP mode and try
booting with this patch.

I'd also like someome with several adapters to stuff a box with them and
try booting.  Of interest is the case where a 3c509B in PnP mode is
installed as well as an older non-PnP 3c509.  I suspect this combination
will have 'issues' but am not sure.  Boot verbosely and mail me the
output, as well as the output of 'pnpinfo' if you're running a 3c509B.

Can it be applied to:
ns: {1} uname -a
FreeBSD ns.binep.ac.ru 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #0: Wed Sep 29 21:54:10 MSD 1999
[EMAIL PROTECTED] :/usr/src/sys/compile/BINEP.ega  i386

with (from dmesg)

Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 12 on isa
Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep0: aui/bnc[*BNC*] address 00:20:af:56:35:ac

Oct 20 19:36:32 ns /kernel: ep2: aui/bnc[*BNC*] address 00:20:af:8f:93:a9

These are Etherlinks III 3C509B ASSY 03-0021-100-REV-B,
and they are probably PnP, don't remember...

But the machine itself is 486DX2 with VLB m/b, it's definitely
not PnP. Runs as internet gateway, web server and IPXrouted (yes...)

Or should i upgrade to 3.3? (no-no, not to current, been there 8-))


Thanks.

Nope.  :/

Email me your kernel config file and I'll send you a -current kernel you
can boot to test if you like.

Likely they are PnP but not running in PnP mode.

That doesn't matter.  FreeBSD's PnP code doesn't rely on the BIOS to setup
the devices (well, current anyway.)

 Or should i upgrade to 3.3? (no-no, not to current, been there 8-))

I just need you to boot a -current kernel and capture the dmesg output if
you can; easiest way to do this would be to hook the box in question up to
another machine and boot via serial console.
