I recently installed 4.2 release on my evga 680i based motherboard , which uses nfe(4) for the onboard gig NIC's.
There seems to be an issue in the handling of the autodetection of media types and the speed it can run at when manual selection is set. So say for instance I set it manually to 100baseTX it will no longer function and does not send packets. If I then set it to 10baseT it will work fine, I have checked the network routers/cables and interfaces from a windows partition which detects a 100mbps link. I have notived that on the router it detects a 100mbps link before the kernel initiatesthe device during boot i.e before any mention of nfe on the screen. Has anyone else had any similar issues using nfe interfaces ?
