Billionton LNA-100B not working with FreeBSD 6.x?

Mon Feb 19 20:55:08 UTC 2007

Hello,

I have a cuple of old PCCard NIC's; the LNA-100B from Billionton, more
info here:
http://www.billionton.com.tw/website/product/index.asp?code=LNA
These are 16bit, 10 / 100 Mbps ethernet NIC's that use the 'ed' driver. I've
been using them under FreeBSD 4.x for a long time, and i think I have
used them with FreeBSD 5.x as well (however, I couldn't find any
evidence of that).

Recently, I tried them in a FreeBSD 6.2 machine (6.2-release) and the
card is detected (with some strangeness) but doesn't work. I tried them
in another laptop, but the problem is still the same.
Here is the dmesg output from a 6.2-stable machine booting with this
card inserted:

(I got the same messages when booting a 6.2-release and 6.1-release CD. I also tried the 6.0-release CD, but there the card is not detected)

Notice how the card is detected, but that it seems that it has 16 phy's?
Also, ifconfig claims that there is no carrier (but the cabe is plugged in and the lights on both the switch and the NIC are lit):
root at kg-jobbpc3# ifconfig ed1
ed1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:10:60:f3:13:b0
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier

I have tested this in two different laptops, both show the same error.
I would like to get these cards working in FreeBSD again.
Any hints on what to try next?
