bge M1  
The hardware is detected but nicinfo report no data being transmitted or received. 

With the previous release it was working but would stop after a while.

What information do you need.
RE: bge M1  
Ouch!  That's probably my fault.  Can you send me the PCI information so
that I can see if there's a matching card in-house and I'll try and
reproduce it?  We updated it to the latest netBSD 4 version and did a bit of
a more complete port.  

	The one card that I have here works fine (but, of course, it would).

	Robert.

RE: bge M1  
Just to keep this thread complete since this was covered in the i82544
thread as well, has the interface been brought up?

ifconfig bge0 up

No it wasn't upped.  Upping it makes no different ( aside showing the new state in ipconfig ).

Before upping the interface, unlike i82544, it shows a valid speed and duplex setting.

pci id = 1434h, device id 1659h

I'm using a custom image.   I put the following files in image:

io-pkt-v4
lsm-qnet.so
lsm-pf-v4.so
devnp-bge.so
devnp-i82544.so
nicinfo ( renamed nicinfo_p )
ipconfig ( renamed ipconfig_p )

Could I be missing something?




RE: RE: bge M1  
Hi Mario:

You also need the new libsocket.so.2.  I think we may be dealing with the
same issue here as with the intel card given the similar behaviour.  Let's
continue this in the i82544 posting to make it easier.

The i82544 not showing speed and duplex while the bge does is different, but
OK.  The bge driver (ported from NetBSD) is using the BSD mii routines while
the i82544 is using our own internal ones.  The i82544 doesn't set up the
mii until the init routine is called when the interface is brought up.

The fact that both drivers seem to be having negotiation issues when they
use different mii implementations under the covers is suspicious :>.


	Robert.
