SMC Etherpower 10/100 NIC with FreeBSD 2.1 Date: 25 Apr 1996 21:19:24 GMT Organization: Nethelp Consulting, Trondheim, Norway Lines: 27 Message-ID: <4loq8s$7qp@verdi.nethelp.no> References: <DqEByu.FEt@news2.new-york.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: trane.uninett.no In-reply-to: hpp@newton.crisp.net's message of Thu, 25 Apr 1996 02:23:17 GMT [Pravin Humane] | I recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE on a P75 Intel endavor | motherboard with SMC Ehterpower PCI network card | ( DC21140 based 10/100 Mbps) | | Everything seems to be fine, except that whenever I telnet from | this machine to a BSDI 1.1 with SMC elite Ultra( ISA card), it takes | minutes to echo keystrokes. Same thing if I try to connect from BSDI | machine to FreeBSD. | | BSDI machine has been in operation for one year flawlessly and works | great. ( It's a news server. ) | I can connect to FreeBSD machine from any other machines | ( terminal servers or NE2000 based NIC machines ) without any problems. | | Is there any patch available for this driver?. I tried going through | the source code ( if_de.c ) and the README file warns about beta | software. Does anyone know if this card works well with FreeBSD?. I've used the Etherpower 10/100 in both 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s modes, and it's always worked well for me with the standard if_de.c driver. Maybe you should try tcpdump to find out *why* your keystroke echos take such a long time? Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
