Description delaroca 1999-08-05 03:00:01 UTC

This DEC 21140AF card marketed by Netgear as the Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter FA 310TX is no longer recognized under FreeBSD 3.x. The de0 driver used to handle the card fine under FreeBSD 2.2.8... when I tried to upgrade to FreeBSD 3.1 I had to switch to a 3COM card to be able to run that version. Under FreeBSD 3.2 the problem persists.

Upon booting, the card is detected as a PCI device but the de0 driver ignores it totally.

How-To-Repeat: Just get ahold of a NetGear Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter FA 310TX with a 21140AF Dec (Tulip) chipset and drop into any FreeBSD 3.x system.

The dc(4) driver in 4.0-CURRENT (soon to be release) supports this card. Have you tried a recent 
3.4 installation as well to see if support has changed?
