Hi Pyun, all,
today I installed FreeBSD 8-STABLE r198366 on a new Box. It has a Atheros nic:
ale0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x831c1043 chip=0x10261969
rev=0xb0 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Attansic (Now owned by Atheros)'
device = 'PCI-E ETHERNET CONTROLLER (AR8121/AR8113 )'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
ale0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=319a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
ether 00:24:8c:a4:0a:b3
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
The nic gets no carrier at all. I tried against two known-working nics
with a cross-over cable and against a dsl-modem.
Any idea what to try? Will happily test patches.

Some nics dont seem to have carrier until you put it in UP state with an IP. Try something simple like ifconfig ale0 192.168.255.254/30 ---Mike> - Marius >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"-------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike
