IBM R40 Network Problems (fxp0)

[v***@opsource.net]

Hello. FreeBSD 5.2.1's installer sees my fxp0 device (supported
EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI), but does not allow me to use it. I cannot
get the boot CD to see the network. Does anyone know if a fix exists?
Am I missing a boot time option?

Someone (below) was able to fix fxp0 issues with an addition of
hint.fxp.0.prefer_iomap="1" to device.hints. Is it possible to pass
this option to the boot CD?

maybe you have resource conflict on your R40, as it seems everyone had
with T40. My fxp0 is Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 VE Ethernet, which was
recognised fine, but refused to work saying something about timeout. All
peripherals were using irq 11, and after changing irq for fxp, the nic
started working like a charm ;)

Funny you mentioned that. I just tried changing the IRQs from all 11 to
all 9. No go. Your suggesting I try a different IRQ for the fxp only?
I'll give that a try. Thanks,

Victor

I don't really have a suggestion, but my R40 works just fine. I'm
running 5.2-CURRENT, but it worked fine with 5.2-RELEASE also.

I observed the same behaviour of the integrated NIC (Intel Pro 100/VE) on
Compaq Evo D310 under FreeBSD-5.2.1-RELEASE. I solved the problem by
disabling the APIC support in the BIOS.
