I'm having trouble to make my Netgear Gigabit PCI GA311 network card
work in 1000baseTX in FreeBSD-6.1RC. It runs fine on 100baseTX mode with
Cat5 cable, however it doesn't with Cat5e/Cat6 cabling in
Does it work at 1000baseTX w/ Cat5 cabling?
I thought Cat5 only supports 100baseTX and I didn't test 1000baseTX w/ Cat5.
Nope, 1000Base-T (no X) is speced for Cat5 cabling.. As per the 802.3
spec 40.1:
1000BASE-T signaling requires four pairs of Category 5 balanced cabling,
as specified in ISO/IEC 11801:1995 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A (1995) and
tested for the additional performance parameters specified in 40.7 using
testing procedures defined in proposed ANSI/TIA/EIA TSB95.
Ok.
It is not working at 1000baseTX with Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.
It's wierd that it works at 100Base-TX w/ Cat5, but not w/ Cat5e...
Is there differences in the cable length or something?
Not much difference.
Have you tried
w/ just normal Cat5?
Ok, I will test it again in couple of days and let you know.
