Hi Pyun, all,
today I installed FreeBSD 8-STABLE r198366 on a new Box. It has a Atheros nic:
a...@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.
Did you try and give it an IP address so that its
"UP" ? 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
