My regular workstation is a M2NSLI-Deluxe with two e-GeForce 7100GS Cards. It does not have wireless but does have dual gigabit. I installed 4.0 from the CD and it worked well initially. After a while the nfe0 interface stopped responding (I was syncing with the CVS repository at this time). I upgraded to -current and the same thing happened when compiling OpenOffice. I was trying different things to solve this problem thinking that it had something to do with activity on the machine or the network. For some reason setting mediaopt to 100BaseT instead of autoselect seemed to resolve the issue.I have not had a problem with nfe0 for the past few weeks. > > Both seem not to be supported according to the hardware pages. > Anyone knows if I can get one of these working, maybe the second one > with nfe(4) and with -current? > > Regards, > > Joerg > > > !DSPAM:1,45aff036309385368819438! -- Vijay Sankar ForeTell Technologies Limited 59 Flamingo Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3J 0X6 Phone: +1 (204) 885-9535, E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
