Hello. It seems that each time I upgrade to a newever version of FreeBSD, my D-Link DFE-650TX always has troubles. This time I've tried all the previous remedies and I've had no luck. When I use 4.5-R and a GENERIC kernel, the card is properly detected and resources allocated but the media type is never initialized and of course the networking doesn't work (I get the error: "ed1: device timeout"). In the past I've corrected this with patches to the ed driver, which look to be in the 4.5 source, or I've played with IRQs/PCCARD memory (which hasn't worked for a few versions), and lately in the past year I've used the fa_select.c tool to initialize the media connector. However in 4.5 I cannot get the connector properly initialized using fa_select, nor does the kernel properly do so.. Any suggestions? The MAC address is being read properly. How come this is a constant problem with this card? I think it's a Rev C, and back when I had the Rev A I never had troubles but i think it was a different chipset. The mailing list archives seem to imply that the problem has finally gone away, however my experience suggests otherwise. Thanks in advance, -- Rick C.
