Re: Trouble getting network card to work
Thanks - I will give this a try when I get a chance. When I got back in to work yesterday I found a couple of 10/100 cards from a different vendor (Intel) and threw them in and they worked on the first boot. Depending on how much time we have before my team needs to begin using the box, I may not be able to test with the old cards, but I'll tuck away this information for future use. Thanks for everyone's help! BTW, we're going to be using the machine as a router in our test lab and setting up ipfw rules in conjunction with dummynet 'pipes' for WAN emulation. As I've been playing around with this I've been amazed at all that can be done with it -- hats off to the FreeBSD community for building such an excellent tool.

Some operating systems place the controller in low power mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set it back to full power mode in time, it will not be able to configure it correctly. The driver tries to detect this condi- tion and bring the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach the device as a network interface, you will have to perform a warm boot to have the device properly configured. could this be your problem then ?

RE: Trouble getting network card to work
Add this to your kernel source and recompile the kernel. "device puc" This uses an more detailed approach to probing older bio's and motherboards PCI slots. I found this as an solution posted in the questions archives. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jared Cheney Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Trouble getting network card to work Thanks for the suggestion.

RE: Trouble getting network card to work
I just went through that on my pre Y2K PC using 4.9. Different PCI Nic card, but same symptoms. Had to enable verbose boot messages. Saw that every time I rebooted system the boot log showed an msg saying something about unrecognized ID. I know the card was good so I just kept moving the Nic card to different PCI slot, rebooting, until it finally worked. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jared Cheney Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 4:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Trouble getting network card to work Hello, I've just installed FreeBSD 4.9 and am having trouble getting my network card to work. It is very odd, because it appears as though the kernel recognizes the card just fine and is using the pcn module to bring it up, etc. It is an AMD 79c79x card (according to FreeBSD). I can view/set properties via ifconfig - and it properly shows whether or not there is link. I cannot obtain a DHCP lease, nor can I ping any other hosts on my network when I have a static IP configured. To ensure that the NIC is fine and all cables, etc. - I booted from a bootable Linux CD (Knoppix), where I was able to use the card fine to ping, browse the Internet, etc. Linux showed it as an AMD 79c970 [PCNET32 LANCE] card. The card is called pcn0 in FreeBSD, and it says that it is sharing IRQ 10. Running tcpdump for any length of time also shows that 0 packets were received by the filter. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the problem?
