Its looking great so far! In the two production machines I put it in last
night, zero time outs as expected!! These are both EM machines. On my two
internal ET machines, also zero problems. The machines are in 10BaseT/UTP,
and 10BaseT full duplex.
inphy0: on miibus1
inphy0: 10baseT, 10bas
I have it on two machines with this chipset and it looks good so
far. After installing, dmesg shows
fxp0: port 0xc400-0xc43f mem 0xd5001000-0xd5001fff
irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci1
fxp0: *** DISABLING DYNAMIC STANDBY MODE IN EEPROM ***
fxp0: New EEPROM ID: 0x49a0
fxp0: EEPROM checksum @ 0xff:
I believe that I have a real fix for the SCB timeout problems
that have been plauging users of recent Intel fxp boards.
If you have a board that uses the Intel ICH2/ICH2-M chipset
(usually 815E style boards) and feel comfortable applying
patches to the system, please contact me to test a fix
