I've made some progress getting NetBSD-1.5 to recognize LanMedia's
T1/E1+CSU card, the LMC1200P, mostly by shamelessly merging Chris
Cappuccio's fixes from the OpenBSD driver into NetBSD's if_lmc*. I've
sent an inquiry to Chris, but figured I'd ask on this list as well.
Local tests on the system with the card say that it is ok, but the
remote router doesn't respond to it. Still waiting for a callback from
LMC - planning to ask about recent firmware changes, D4 vs ESF, etc.
...
NetBSD-1.5-RELEASE wouldn't ID the LMC1200P, saying it was a de0. With
the patches, the lmc driver is initialized, ifconfig completes
successfully, etc.
(will fix "Corperation" typo in next patch)
If I plug a known good T1 into the card, the physical link goes up;
lmccontrol says
lmc0: Lan Media Corperation LMC1200 (T1)
Clock source: External/Line
Approximate detected rate: 1536000
HDLC Keepalive: on
CRC length: 16
ifconfig says
lmc0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 63.63.63.42 -> 63.63.63.41 netmask 0xfffffffc
inet6 fe80::2d0:b7ff:fe88:5bfa%lmc0 -> :: prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
Only the green LED is on, but attempting to ping the remote peer gives
no results. Tcpdump on lmc0 shows only the outgoing requests and
keep-alives.
>sudo tcpdump -i lmc0
