fxp driver on freebsd 4.7?
Hi, all I tried to install a new intel 82550 based ethernet adapter on my freebsd 4.7. In the first time, I don't want to recompile my kernel. So, I add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: if_fxp_load=YES The driver loaded and the adapter identified as fxp0. But the system reboot every time while I tried to run ifconfig on fxp0. Did I do anything wrong using loadable module? Or loadable module support not stable on this release. The second time, I compile fxp driver to my new kernel and every thing seem work ok. This 82550 adapter has 3des support bulletin, how can I identify this function enabled? I alread use link0 parameter on ifconfig to load microcode as manual page instructed.

Perhaps, if it wasn't compiled at the same time as the kernel, it might be incompatible and this will cause this kind of probblem. Or loadable module support not stable on this release. 4.7 is very old, so I doubt anyone remembers specific problems in this release.

I doubt this is supported in 4.7. Kris pgpzJV1TP8PAF.pgp Description: PGP signature
