Hello All,
1st, let me say that I'm quite new to this OS (I have Cisco training though), but I've done some searching around on this, let me try to put across my networking issue:
This is a new install (7.1) - I checked the Hardware Notes for my Mobo, prior to starting.
Its a Nvidia 'MCP51' controller, and it is listed for the nfe driver -
FreeBSD apparently recognizes it, so I'll get to the symptom.
-Ping Loopback > good
-Ping static 192.168.10.100 > Good
But after a Boot, and all the scrolling stuff appears, I get this hex error:
'nfe0 tx V2 error 0X6004'
I'm lost now, don't know where to start... but:
looked at ifconfig (this after searching around - the bolded partial, below apparently indicates a problem)
a partial listing below:
nfe0: flags=884(UP BROADCAST MULITCAST...)3metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8
. MAC
. inet6 XXXXXXXXX ....
. inet 0.0.0.0 netmask (hex)ff000000 bcast 255 255 255 255
. autoselect 100base /half duplex
status Active
*also, a line here-
'network_interfaces="lo0_nfe0'
Finally, there's another Nividia driver listed in the hardware notes, for the NForce4, which jives with the Mobo -
Is this a possibility- to change the driver?(I wouldn't know where to start, except the handbook)
Thanks in advance, I'll hang up an listen.
Oh, 1 last thing - the NIC is Gigabit capable, but I saw someplace (netstat or ifconfig, IIRC) which indicates 100 mbs @ half duplex. My network is not Gig. capable, but I am expecting AutoNegotiation.
