Release: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE Description: With two LPC3-TX cards in hand, it was confirmed the hi- and low-bytes for the vendor MELCO are swapped. Once the bytes are swapped back and kernel recompiled (with GENERIC), one card gave the incorrect MAC address (even with the 'ether' line) and the other hangs the machine (similar to PCMCIA running out of IRQs). State Changed From-To: open->closed Commited pccard.conf in 1.268,Thanks |
According to the commit log in revision 1.166 of src/etc/defaults/pccard.conf, fix MELCO LPC3-TX config use ``config auto'' add ether line but `ether line' was added in BUFFALO LPC3-CLX, not in BUFFALO LPC3-TX. This line should be added in MELCO LPC3-TX config. In current status (both -current and -stable), you will get an incorrect MAC address When LPC3-TX is inserted like follows: ed1: address 01:02:00:ff:xx:xx, type NE2000 (16bit) If add 'ether 0x1c8' line into the relevant position, you will get a correct MAC address like follows: ed1: address 00:40:26:xx:xx:xx, type NE2000 (16bit) P.S. I also reported this problem at [bsd-nomads:16359] http://www.clave.gr.jp/ml/bsd-nomads/200206/msg00034.html (in Japanese) Fix: put ether 0x1c8 line into configuration of BUFFALO LPC3-TX. How-To-Repeat: insert MELCO LPC3-TX into your laptop.
