Yup, they're great. | We tested a SMC power pci card with 21040 -- worked. | We tested a PowerNIC cn935e from cnet (21041 based) -- worked. | We tested a Cogent 964 with four ethernets on it -- the first | ether (de0) worked. | | The problem came with the other three ethers: | | If I ran ifconfig de1, the fbsd 2.1.0 kernel just frooze. | | Looks like one needs some sort of | | controller pci1 | | statement for the kernel. I'm not sure this is already supported. | Someone else have an idea ? I'd *love* to built routers from that | kind of stuff 8-) Don't know what your problem is, but here's a small part of the dmesg output for a machine with one SMC Etherpower^2 card (2 ports), and one ZNYX ZX314 card (4 ports): Probing for devices on PCI bus 2: de0 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 11 on pci2:4 de0: DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:2b:0e:c0 de0: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de1 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci2:5 de1: DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:4e:10:c0 de1: enabling 10baseT/UTP port Probing for devices on PCI bus 1: de2 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci1:4 de2: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:20 de2: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de3 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 10 on pci1:5 de3: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:21 de3: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de4 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 11 on pci1:6 de4: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:22 de4: enabling 10baseT/UTP port de5 <Digital DC21040 Ethernet> rev 35 int a irq 11 on pci1:7 de5: ZNYX ZX314 DC21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3 Ethernet address 00:c0:95:f0:1d:23 de5: enabling 10baseT/UTP port In the kernel config I simply have device de0 device de1 device de2 device de3 device de4 device de5 It took some fiddling around with the BIOS to get this to work, but now it works very well! Btw, this is on a machine which runs the 960323 SNAP. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
