Re: Problem with fxp driver and 82559 cards
However, we have at least one industrial-type system (with a different board/config) that works fine with these cards, though we didn't do the install with one. I'll try that tomorrow and report my findings. Though the cards seem to work post-install, they fail in the install program. I can transfer files to my hearts content using the ftp program... but if I go into the installer and try to transfer a distribution , it fails, locking in the same way. I'm talking with Intel to see if they have had similar problems. I read something in the source about the reciever has locked after garbage in the syncronization bits... could it be a similar problem with the new chip, perhaps exposed by certain types of equipment? Any suggestions as to what I should look into? It sounds like a motherboard chipset problem. It's a standard intel chipset... I'm getting a replacement BIOS to see if that makes a difference.

Re: Problem with fxp driver and 82559 cards
Large data transfers seem to cause the lockup. I know at least 1 netbsd person has reported similar problems with these new cards, (kern/7216). Has anyone seen problems like these? Any ideas? Hmmm...I've been using them in some machines here and haven't seen any problems. Strange. Do all of your systems have similar motherboards and CPU? The only thing that I can identify as a common factor, is that the PCI slots are on a riser card. One type is an NLX-form factor motherboard. The other is an industrial system with a Single Board Computer (SBC) and a passive backplain. Aside from the riser card, these machines are completely different. (IDE vs. SCSI, no other PCI devices, SCSI pci device, pentium vs pentium-II... onboard video/ethernet(in addition to the intel cards) vs nothing onboard...) However, we have at least one industrial-type system (with a different board/config) that works fine with these cards, though we didn't do the install with one. I'll try that tomorrow and report my findings. I doubt this is the case, but is the fxp driver different on the install floppy than on the post-install kernel / kernel-source? Same driver on floppy and installed kernel. Any suggestions as to what I should look into?

I haven't followed this closely, but noticed the last few messages. Apologies if this is in the wrong ballpark. Have you tried a hub or a switch configured to stick with half-duplex? Also, some switches go dark when there's a change in port status, as might happen if a driver reinitializes the link. The switches are executing a spanning tree algorithm on the new port, looking for loops. If the switches can be configured to not do this (only needed for switch-switch connection), you might try that as well. (I'm not sure if the install issue is occuring soon after a boot, or is something else). Regards, Justin -- Justin C.

Problem with fxp driver and 82559 cards
Good Afternoon, I have been using the Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B cards for some time. I just recieved a batch of the Intel Pro/100+ management adapters. In most of my machines, they don't work. Everything I can find says they should be compatible, but there are very clearly some problems. Doing FTP installs is impossible, on 3.2, if I can get it to start at all, it gets 60% through bin and hangs. 2.2.8 gets 30% through and hangs. Large data transfers seem to cause the lockup. I know at least 1 netbsd person has reported similar problems with these new cards, (kern/7216). Has anyone seen problems like these? Any ideas?

I know at least 1 netbsd person has reported similar problems with these new cards, (kern/7216). I use the new Intel Pro/100+ Management adapters in several FreeBSD servers with no problems. I have also have done a FTP install using these adapters without a problem. You probably want to look elsewhere for the cause of the lockup.
