AW: Intel embedded NICs not working with FreeBSD 6.2, 6.3 and 7.0

[Fuchs, Martin]

Ok, back again... sorry for letting you wait so long, but i had a lot to do...

Since there's no possibility to copy via putty i'm copying by hand... hopefully there are not too many errors :-)

pciconf -lcv

fxp0 at pci0:1:4:0:		class=0x020000	card=0x00708086	chip=0x12298086	rev=x010

	cap01[dc]	=	powerspec	2	supports	D0 D1 D2 D3	current D0

dmesg shows for example:

fxp0: link state changed to down
fxp1: link state changed to down
fxp2: link state changed to down
fxp1: link state changed to up	<- when I attach a network cable to a switch

devinfo does not work... does not find the command (it's the freebsd under pfSense)

vmstat -i

interrupt			total		rate
irq0: clk			1348688	999
irq5: ehci0			9043		6
irq8: rtc			172621	127

irq14: uhci0 ata0		792		0
irq15: ata1			2738		2

Hope you can use this information ?

Since there are too many variants of fxp hardwares it would be
even better to post the output of the following.
 o pciconf -lcv
 o dmesg output related with fxp(4)
 o devinfo -rv | grep oui
 o vmstat -i
