Mitchell Smith) Subject: FreeBSD-2.0R and 3C509 Message-ID: <CzuuKJ.9o3@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> Sender: usenet@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU Organization: University of Virginia Distribution: usa Date: Sat, 26 Nov 1994 03:19:31 GMT Lines: 23 My 3Com 3C509 ethernet card is not working under FreeBSD-2.0 RELEASE. The hardware works correctly under DOS on the same machine. The card worked under FreeBSD-1.1 (before I clobbered it with 2.0R :-) using: ifconfig ep0 ... aui The card will work under NetBSD-1.0 with ifconfig ep0 ... link0 link1 The card is recognized by the ep0 driver at bootup with FreeBSD-2.0R but pings get a `host down' error. Could it be failing to detect the correct physical connector? The `aui' option is now a `bad value' from ifconfig. I tried all combinations of `linkX' options without success (and a quick look at if_ep.c showed that the `link' options are probably ifdef'd to NetBSD anyway). I'm probably doing something silly.
