I just checked the image and it's fine. I also did md5 checks between the image and the CD to see if it burned properly and all looks good. and/or b) Try the amd64 version? No... I tried the amd64 version over a year ago (maybe 5.2 release?) and had loads of problems building ports. Since I use FreeBSD for my desktop machine, I depend on lots of them. It seems doubtful that all those ports now build without problems under amd64, but what do you think? - Steve K ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Plus, I only tried the ne2000 card out of desperation; I'd like to have at least 100Mbs between my two machines. I'll tell how it goes when I get some time to work on it again. - Steve K ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I would have tried that but the PnP config on my BIOS won't let me. It only lets you reserve IRQs 3-15 (skipping a few) and these cards consistently show up on IRQ 17. > Jsut keep trying different pci nics. a intel etherexpress pro100 would be > my next choice (fxp0) > > Ted Anyway, I'll try all of these suggestions and hopefully get it to work.

5.2.1-RELEASE ethernet troubles
I'm at wits end here trying to setup a new Athlon64 machine with the i386 release of 5.2.1-RELEASE. The problem is getting it to like a network card of some sort; I've tried and failed with 4 so far: 1. Motherboard built-in NVidia gigethernet (Ok, didn't expect that one to be supported) 2. Cheapo VT6105-based card using vr(4) driver: It's recongnized in ifconfig but I get the dreaded "watchdog timeout" errors. I can't seem to disable PnP in the BIOS per archive suggestions. Also tried swapping slots, but it always shows on the same IRQ. ACPI on/off doesn't matter. 3. Slightly less cheap LinkSys LNE100TX, using dc0 driver: dmesg reports "MII without PHY!" error and ifconfig therefore doesn't see it. 4. ANCIENT 10BaseT card using ed0 driver: It's recongnized but gives "kernel: ed0 device timeout" errors. (Sorry I can't include any dmesg output; I have no networking on the machine. However, it's an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ on an MSI K8N Neo Platinum motherboard.) So - do I have amazingly bad luck in choosing ethernet cards, or is something else going on? The suggestions I've found in the archives for cards 2 and 3 above didn't work. Any ideas at all about what I can do to get working?
