I have recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 9300, so of course the first thing I did was gutted it and installed FreeBSD :) I am having some problems with the bfe driver on this machine (running 7-CURRENT as of a few minutes ago). When the system boots, bfe0 is down, and shows a 100mbit link (as expected). If I bring the interface up, either by throwing dhclient at it, or by manually doing an 'ifconfig bfe0 up', it loses carrier. Forcing the media to 100BaseTX or 10BaseT/UTP does not resolve the situation. Using the NDISulator does provide a workaround. I'll try Knoppix tomorrow when I get to work, and provide information on whether it works better. -- Alastair D'Silva mob: 0423 762 819 Networking Consultant fax: 0413 181 661 New Millennium Networking web: http://www.newmillennium.net.auReceived on Mon Nov 14 2005 - 21:55:32 UTC
