I am trying out the live CD of pfsense. The only problem I have is my third NIC, xl0, which is a 3Com 3c900-TPO Etherlink XL does not link up. I get a physical link light on the locally connected switch (an smc, dumb switch). When I was running IPCop on this same box (with the same 3 NIC's) I did not have this problem. The NIC and driver starts fine on boot up, according to dmesg.boot. When I do an ifconfig -a, the NIC is active but not up. The 3Com 3c900-TPO is supposedly fully supported by FreeBSD 6.0. I've tried rebooting the box without luck. So far everything else is great, I would just like this third interface to use for a wireless LAN. Any ideas what the problem could be?
I've got an xl0 as my WAN. No problems so far - it's plugged into a Cisco 29something switch though. And I don't know if the NIC is exactly the same model. Advice: Pick up a some fxps from ebay. ;-) cheers, Rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
