System: NetBSD maaltrost.runit.sintef.no 1.3H NetBSD 1.3H (MAALTROST) #6: Thu Nov  5 11:18:40 MET 1998     he@maaltrost.runit.sintef.no:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/MAALTROST i386


>Description:
	I have an i386 machine with two ethernet cards:

de0 at pci0 dev 12 function 0
de0: interrupting at irq 5
de0: DEC DE500-XA 21140 [10-100Mb/s] pass 1.1
de0: address 00:00:f8:01:08:20
isa0 at pcib0
ep0 at isa0 port 0x300-0x30f irq 10: 3Com 3C509 Ethernet
ep0: address 00:20:af:ac:25:a0, 8KB byte-wide FIFO, 5:3 Rx:Tx split
ep0: 10baseT, 10base5/AUI, 10base2/BNC (default 10baseT)

	We only use the de0 card.

	My ifconfig.de0 file contains

		inet maaltrost.runit.sintef.no netmask 0xffffff80 up \
			media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex

	(folded only for readability).

	During startup I get the following messages:

biomask 4240 netmask 4660 ttymask 46e2

	and when I log in on the console and run "netstat -in" I get:

maaltrost# netstat -in
Name  Mtu   Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll

maaltrost#

	and I have to configure the interface up to make it work.

maaltrost# ifconfig de0 up
maaltrost# ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8867<UP,BROADCAST,DEBUG,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex
        status: active
        inet 129.241.224.100 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 129.241.224.127
maaltrost#  

	Anyone know what's going on here?  Personally I suspect a
	device driver bug (?), hence the "kern" category above (should
	there be a category for MI device drivers?).

	The de0 port is connected to a cisco Catalyst-5000 switch, and
	the port on the switch is configured for fixed 100/fdx.

	This is with a kernel from sources SUPped today (i.e.
	yesterday's sources) and the ifconfig binary is from the 31
	Oct snapshot (and the sources do not appear to have changed
	since then).

	I should perhaps note that this only started happening after
	we yesterday turned on full-duplex both on the switch and on
	the machine.


>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.


>Fix:
	As a workaround I've added a single line to ifconfig.de0
	containing the word "up", but it seems a little odd having to do
	that.

	As I'm not even entirely certain this is a device driver bug I
	have obviously not supplied a better fix.
