re driver problem (RTL8169 chipset)
Hi, I'm having trouble to make my Netgear Gigabit PCI GA311 network card work in 1000baseTX in FreeBSD-6.1RC. It runs fine on 100baseTX mode with Cat5 cable, however it doesn't with Cat5e/Cat6 cabling in 100baseTX/1000baseTX mode. It simply says no carrier. The system also panics right after the boot when it is connected 100baseTX network. When I disconnect the cable the system boots fine. I will test more this card in couple of days and will try to get debug messages when panics. The card is based on Realtec 8169S chipset.

I thought Cat5 only supports 100baseTX and I didn't test 1000baseTX w/ Cat5. It is not working at 1000baseTX with Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.

I thought Cat5 only supports 100baseTX and I didn't test 1000baseTX w/ Cat5. Nope, 1000Base-T (no X) is speced for Cat5 cabling.. As per the 802.3 spec 40.1: 1000BASE-T signaling requires four pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling, as specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and tested for the additional performance parameters specified in 40.7 using testing procedures defined in proposed ANSI/TIA/EIA TSB95. It is not working at 1000baseTX with Cat5e/Cat6 cabling. It's wierd that it works at 100Base-TX w/ Cat5, but not w/ Cat5e... Is there differences in the cable length or something? Have you tried w/ just normal Cat5? -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not much difference. Have you tried w/ just normal Cat5? Ok, I will test it again in couple of days and let you know.
