Bug 17906

Summary:	le ethernet device doesn't work in 4.0
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	alex wetmore <alex>
Component:	i386	Assignee:	freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me
Priority:	Normal
Version:	4.0-RELEASE
Hardware:	Any
OS:	Any

Description alex wetmore 2000-04-10 17:50:01 UTC

	Migrated from 2.2.7 to 4.0.  
	Built new kernel with this device line for le0
	device		le0	at isa? port 0x300 irq 11 iomem 0xe0000

	If I ifconfig this interface now it will panic the machine.

	I noticed that le warns about how it is using old kernel interfaces.
	Since replacement ethernet cards are very inexpensive I just retired
	this card and replaced it with a Linksys card that uses the dc 
	interface.

	If someone really wants to get this working contact me and they
	can have my card.

Fix: 

Replace the card

The neat thing about panics is that they have messages. When your machine
is configuered right, they even have backtraces.

Getting this to work obviously isn't important enough to send us those.

Please provide crashdumps (see the handbook, if you don't know how).

With this description we can't do much.

(please send them in reply to GNATS, not to me)

Is this still a problem in more recent releases?
