Re: ethernet card not working
The cable works find and so does the network card. I have it plugged is it crossover cable for sure? into my ibook and am sshing across it - everything works fine and as it should when using freebsd to osx, just can't do the same from some cards MAY work without crossing over pairs - they autodetect it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: ethernet card not working
unplug either end and plug it into my ibook (OS X) the status changes to active and I can ping the other computer. From this I can see that both both freebsd computers have working ethernet cards and the cable works also, just not freebsd-freebsd. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case and how to fix it? bad cable or not swapped at all. between 2 computers you have to make swapped cable on one side put green pair in place of yellow, yellow in place of green, brown in place of blue and blue in place of brown. If it's 10 or 100 Mbps ethernet blue&brown doesn't matter, only 2 pairs are used. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Most newer equipment will auto configure for any cabling arrangement so it doesn't matter if it's a straight-thru or crossover; but if you are using a straight-thru it may be failing because the old card is balking. Try using a crossover cable and see if it makes any difference. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
RE: ethernet card not working
Maybe the MAC card has auto MDI-X? You usually need a crossover cable to connected two computers directly without a hub/switch. -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of David Collins Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 1:37 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ethernet card not working Hi, I have just gotten an old ethernet card, not entirely sure how old it is but it has pulse H1012 on one of the chips and appears as ethernet device fxp0 in freebsd 7.0. When I plug an ethernet cable between this card and another computer (freebsd 7.2) ifconfig says that the status has no carrier.
