Re: Cisco PIX 4-port 10/100 card in OpenBSD-current
Why are the Intel cards better than anything else? How does Intel compare to the 3Com905C for instance? Everyone claims that Intel is the thing, but haven't actualley seen any documentation on this yet. At 19:31 25.02.2003, Srebrenko Sehic wrote: For all you pf firewall builders.

I remember a discussion where one told 3com is cool, after breakage I got a new one within days on warranty .. yeah, right, but isnt it better if they do NOT break in first place? Second, if you get re- placements from 3com it CAN HAPPEN that everything looks the same (including software serial numbers), but the firmware has changed in an unknown way and the driver doesnt work any longer. nuff said. Older Intels had their bugs too, they locked up after some traffic sent through them, but I think this was solved at the driver level after some reading from the original Intel driver. dont speculate. probably you are talking about i82562 (integrated on i815) which had slightly different buffers in the chip and with this chip intel stopped handing out real specs. thus no real drivers can be written. one has to reverse engineer that, there are no free docs on it (at least those days). they all suck. ciao -- Philipp Buehler - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://sysfive.com/ sysfive.com GmbH - UNIX.

Cisco PIX 4-port 10/100 card in OpenBSD-current
For all you pf firewall builders. I just tried installing a Cisco 4-port card (PIX-4FE; used in Cisco PIX firewalls) into my OpenBSD-current box and guess what? It works like a charm, so I wanted to share it. I know people often ask for this type of devices. Interfaces are detected as separate fxp(4) cards (we all know how good they are). Dmesg is below.
