Re: How to make an Intel EtherExpress known to xe(4)?

Yep, thanks, it is all to make it known:

xe0: <Intel EtherExpress PRO/100> at port 0x100-0x10f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
xe0: Intel CE3, bonding version 0x45, 100Mbps capable
xe0: DingoID = 0x444b, RevisionID = 0x1, VendorID = 0
xe0: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:bc:b5:ef

However, when trying to use it i get:

xe0: discard oversize frame (ether type 800 flags 3 len 1518 > max 1514)

This didn't happen with that card under 4.x.  I might look
into the differences...  The connection is not usable that
way, it seems all packets are thrown away as being oversized.

Maybe as a workaround just assume it's a full-sized packet,
and only discard the `oversized' bytes?  If this was in
error, the higher protocol layers will throw the packet
away anyway.

I'll eventually tcpdump both ends.  It's not a show-stopper
right now, i've also got a 3C589xxx i can use.
