Hi!

I can't get this card running under FBSD-2.1R although the card
seems to be recognized correctly:

de0 <Digital DC21140 Fast Ethernet> rev 18 int a irq 12 on pci0:15
de0: DC21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.2 Ethernet address 00:00:92:96:2a:7e
de0: enabling 100baseTX UTP port

I'm wondering if there is only support for the EM100 in if_de.c?
The only difference between the EM100 and the EM110 is the missing
support for 10BaseTX in the EM100. Maybe the card works
if I can make it to be recognized as a EM100 and not as a standard
DC21140 based card?

Here are some more details about my hardware configuration:

Pentium90 with 24MB Ram with SiS Chipset:
chip0 <SiS 85c501> rev 57 on pci0:0
chip1 <SiS 85c503> rev 0 on pci0:1

NCR host adaptor: ncr0 <ncr 53c810 scsi> rev 2 int a irq 9 on pci0:13
Miro 20SD video card

The ethernet card does work under NT3.51 and DOS. Under FreeBSD the
green LED is on and the yellow LED is flashing after starting a ping
just like under NT but no packets seem to be transmitted or received.

Any hints are very appreciated :-)

bye,
volker
