You could try to take the source files for the xl driver from 4.7 and put them with the 5.0 source than follow a normal make world (from the handbook) There located in /usr/src/sys/modules/xl and /usr/src/sys/pci (if_xl.c opt_bdg.h device_if.h bus_if.h pci_if.h). It would be nice if you checked the bugs pages and send a PR if its missing. >From Mat: > I also use 3com's with the xl driver and I have no such issues: > > xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xe400-0xe47f mem 0xea00- > 0xea7f irq 12 at device 15.0 on pci0 > xl0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:24:ac:e1:b4 > xl1: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xe800-0xe83f irq 11 at device > 17.0 on pci0 > xl1: Ethernet address: 00:60:08:6d:1e:3b > > Both are configured and working first on FreeBSD5.0-RELEASE and now on 5.0- > CURRENT after I cvsup'd over the weekend. > > The only problems I have seen which I did not see with 4.x-STABLE was the > following errors: > > xl1: transmission error: 90 > xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes > > This occured as I was transferring a large amount of data over a samba mount, > but I have not seen it since and the card is still working normally. I also got a xl1 card. I got the same errors when i was running 4.5 or 4.4 (i don't remember that well). All was ok when i updated later. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
