I had reported this problem to stable@freebsd.org, as well as using send-pr, a couple of days ago, but have not heard back from them yet. The problem is not depend on motherboards. Also, I guess it is not depneded on ethercard or driver since you and I have different ethercard. Some network code could be broken. In my case, it finds my ethercard, but configured the interface to nothing. Although, I can manually do ifconfig after booting, the ethernet interface cannot see further than one hop. So, I reinstalled 2.0.5 and everything works again. -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
