Sysinstall reads this as using the "ep0" defice, which works fine on 3.x kernels. However, when using the 4.0-Release kernel, the ethernet driver is unworkably slow. Traceroute and netstat show the interface and other hosts on the same subnet, but ping usually just hangs (times out). On the few cases where ping does return a results, the result is always multi-second, cycling down with a pattern of: 7070ms, 6060ms, 5050ms, 4040ms, 3030ms, 2020ms, 1010ms -- then hangs. However, the same hardware and network (and config) works consistently and cleanly using either the 3.2 or 3.4 kernels. >How-To-Repeat: The hang (packet time-out) is consistent. The few times the packets return are sporadic. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: mike State-Changed-When: Sat Jul 21 19:17:37 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, such as 4.3-RELEASE? http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18522 From: Coranth Gryphon To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, gryphon@intech.net Cc: Subject: Re: kern/18522: device ep0 in 4.0-Release unworkably slow Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2001 02:01:40 -0700 I no longer have this hardware, so cannot test on a later release. -coranth [gryphon@intech.net] State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed State-Changed-By: mike State-Changed-When: Sun Jul 22 09:41:06 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: The originator is unable to confirm whether this is still a problem in newer version of FreeBSD.
