Hi there, I have a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-UD2H motherboard and a Intel fxp(4) network card. Normally everbody thinks "oh, fxp.. that works", yeah.. but not in this system. I get very very strange effects. The kernel is recognizing everything correctly, including all parts of the motherboard and the fxp(4) card. When I try to use the card, I send out SYNs but I don't get ACKs or any other response. Even ARP doesn't work. This is a default install, so no packetfilter is involved. Would be nice to attach a dmesg output but this won't work, becaus I just have this box remotely via Java KVM (just the possibility to get screenshots of the VGA output). I already tried to disable ACPI, SMP, MPBIOS.. tried to use PCI FIXUPs and looked up the config dumps.. (if anyone need that of the fxp(4), I do have them already as screens). I even tried to disable all unnecessary parts of the computer, like the internal soundcard, nic, firewire, usb or everything. There's no way to get this network card working. The very very strange effect is, that in Linux everything works and that confuses me the most. ;) I want to have NetBSD, not Linux.. so please give me some hints or responses according this issue.. maybe some possibilities to debug it or so. I would be very pleased. :) best regards, Frederic 'jchome' Jaeckel
